There remains a linearity to this Lafleur—and there is still that backbone—yet it seems to flow nicely across the mouth
intense and extremely impressive with length to burn
This is amazing
full-throttle wine that is still an adolescent and likely to stay one for at least another 5-7 years

Dana Estate Helms Vineyard 2019 750mL Italy There remains a linearity to"Showing consistently (if not a touch better) than earlier this year, the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Helms Vineyard is a medium to full bodied, complex, incredibly satisfying Cabernet offering lots of cassis and plum fruits, ripe, integrated tannins, wonderful purity of fruit, and lifted, exotic notes of candied violets, tobacco, and spice. It's drinking nicely today, but it should have two decades of overall longevity." Jeb Dunnuck, JD97, tasted 2 2023
