Laurel Glen Description
Tasting notes from Laurel Glen website of wine tasted over the years.
1985 Laurel Glen Cabernet Sauvignon MAGNUM (A legendary year in California… beautiful, crisp, rich fruit with zero rot, fine green rachis, spicy and balanced) PC 2007 - Classic Laurel Glen - a nose of red and black fruits, with smooth balanced fruit on the palate. Sublimely elegant throughout. DW 94 2011 - Very pretty aromas,
Wine Spectator: 91 Points
Deep and concentrated with rich, compact currant, plum, cassis fruit that's sweet and fleshy yet tightly wound, lush yet firm and tannic. It's beautifully proporitoned, deliciously fruity, complex, finishing with toasty oak. Best yet from Laurel Glen.
Wine Advocate: 90 Points
This wine has consistently been an excellent performer. The fine Laurel Glen winery, which has made even better Cabernet Sauvignons during the decade of the nineties, fashioned a 1985 with plenty of jammy, sweet blackcurrant fruit, an element of smoke, herb, and licorice, full body, a complex, multidimensional personality, adequate acidity, and a lush, heady, glycerin and alcohol-imbued finish. The tannins appear to have completely melted away. Readers can expect well-stored examples of this fully mature Cabernet to last for at least 10-12 years.
