Caves São João, Quinta Poço do Lobo Cabernet Sauvignon | 1994

$65.00

It's back! We've secured more of the exquisite 1994 library release from fan favorite, Poço do Lobo. Owned by Caves São João since 1970, Quinta do Poço do Lobo is a 2-hour drive north of Lisbon, deep in the Bairrada region. In contrast to the big and youthful, international styles of Cabernet, Poço do Lobo ages their wines in cement and rests the bottles for decades in their cool, underground cellars. It wasn't until 2013, that the current gatekeepers (the Costa family) decided to release these historical gems to the public. Thanks to them, we can enjoy impeccably aged Cabernet Sauvignon in its rare, acoustic form. On the nose, dark greens and sweet purples unfold into a magnificent spice box of cigar, leather, and cocoa. The structure is moderate, driven by its old-school dusty tannins and breezy acidity. This 1994 is a "Must-have, must pop the cork now!" for any enthusiast who appreciates personality over power.~Allegra A
