2008 TOR Beckstoffer To-Kalon Clone 6 Cabernet Sauvignon

RP95 The brilliant 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer To-Kalon Vineyard Clone 6 again reveals the first-growth-like nobility and complexity of this phenomenal site in Oakville. Subtle toast/barrique aromas intermixed with creme de cassis, licorice, incense and camphor are followed by a wine of tremendous intensity, full-bodied power, silky tannins and a long, rich, concentrated finish. Already approachable, it will be even better in 5-6 years and last for two decades or more.
