2001 Karl Lawrence Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve Morisoli Vineyard (USA, California, Napa Valley)

This is one consistent bottle of pure cab love. Black berries, currant, hints of cola and crème de cassis, this had an underlying sweet fruit profile that one never tires of. Tannins are nearly resolved and nary a hard edge can be found. A lithy balance, this had elegance, precision and grace. Showed just as beautiful as it did last month at CLONYC 27, the Karl Lawrence Reserves dinner. 94 pts
