Tasted alongside the 2020, this 2021 The Maitre d' Cabernet Sauvignon smells sweeter, more of blackberry pie than coulis. In the mouth, the wine is thick and plush, with black berries in profusion, rested upon a bed of creamy oak. It finishes with gentle inflections of crushed coffee grounds and dark chocolate. It is satisfying and super dense-that is the style, and it has been done well here.
