Grapes Variety: 100% Cabernet Sauvignon
Drinking window: 2024 – 2039
Blankiet was among the highlights in my tastings of the 2014s. The wines have aged impeccably and are in a sweet spot today to offer maximum pleasure. It’s always a bit difficult to taste wines from this era, as the 2014s were made by Denis and May-Britt Malbec for proprietors Claude and Katherine Blankiet before Denis’ passing in an automotive accident. The wines will remain a brilliant testament to what the Malbecs achieved at Blankiet. The Cabernet Sauvignon Mythicvs is so impressive.
‘The 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Mythicvs Paradise Hills Vineyard is fabulous. A wine of precision and tension, it impresses with its freshness, vibrancy and sheer beauty. Bright acids cut through a core of red-toned fruit, blood orange, mint, spice, and rose petals. Its balance and poise are simply exquisite. This is, without question, one of the wines of the year. Mythicvs is among the 2014s that have awakened following a long slumber after bottling. What a wine!
