Deep garnet-purple in color, the 2019 Tin Box Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon rockets from the glass with powerful scents of warm cassis, blackberry preserves, and iron ore plus suggestions of cloves, cumin seed, forest floor, and dusty soil. The full-bodied palate has a super-firm backbone of ripe, rounded tannins and seamless freshness, finishing long and spicy.

There are 150 cases of the 2019 Cabernet Sauvignon Tin Box Vineyard, a rich, full-bodied effort that’s about as sexy and seamless as they come. Giving up plenty of darker fruits, plums, chocolate, tobacco, and a hint of graphite, it’s drink great and will continue drinking great for another 15 years or more.

The 2019 another Tin Box Cabernet Sauvignon is another absolutely sensational release from Bevan celalrs in this vintage. Composed of Cabernet Sauvignon with a percentage of Cabernet Franc, this deep, dark red begins with seductive aromas of ripe dark currants, black cherries and blueberries which are woven together with spices, pencil lead, tobacco, violets and wet gravel nuances. On the palate this offers a fabulous, plush full body, with amazing depth and concentration. It continues to seamlessly deliver loads of ripe dark fruits, which all build up and cascade on to the long opulent finish. There is nothing not to love about this, it is a simply outstanding wine that is delicious today and should continue to provide drinking pleasure over the course of the next two decades.

Exquisite aromas of lavender, cigar ash and Spanish cedar with dried citrus follow through to a medium body and a solid palate with powerful, ultrafine and linear tannins. The muscle and long finish are so beautiful. Give it two or three years but already a solid wine. Drink aft

The nose is fresh, aromatic and offers a nice power of freshness, fine grain and depth. There are notes of saffron, blueberry and, more slightly, racy minerality, nutmeg, combined with hints of graphite, fresh blackberry, fine hints of toasted almond and a very fine touch of caramelisation and pepper. The palate is fresh and offers minerality, a nice definition, precision, tension, a nice acidic backbone, a nice depth and dynamism. On the palate this wine expresses juicy/pulpy blackberry, crunchy/fresh black berry and slightly blueberry, liquorice with hints of chocolate, cardamom as well as fresh vanilla, racy minerality, a hint of fresh/juicy red berries and discreet hints of fresh tobacco. A discreet hint of saffron (in its flowery side) and almost black olive in the background. Good length and nice persistence. The tannins are soft, precise and smooth. A very nice work on the bitter taste.

95 Jeff Leve - The Wine Cellar Insider

Cedar, tobacco leaf, cigar box, black currants, mint leaf, and blackberries come through on the nose.

A solid and structured red with bright red and dark berry character and notes of dried orange peel, toasted cedar and crushed stones. Full-bodied, firm and persistent on the palate. Deep and layered with a velvety finish. Drink or hold.

97 Joaquín Hidalgo - Vinous Media

"The 2013 Reserva Viña Tondonia is a blend of 70% Tempranillo, 20% Garnacha and 10% Graciano and Mazuelo, grown in the calcareous soils of the Tondonia meander in Rioja Alta. Aged extensively in American oak, it offers restrained black fruit, wild herbs, balsamic hints and sweet spices with gentle cedar and vanilla notes. Medium-bodied with chalky grip and a layered, tertiary finish, this is a benchmark classic—refined, enduring and unmistakably Tondonia."

The 2022 Muscat still crackles with a touch of reduction. Only then do honeysuckle and lemon appear, with subtle elderflower in the distance. The palate has far more elderflower than the nose, which is creamy, lemony and light. It's a scented wine with a creamy texture. It shows some pithiness, richer than usual, but dry and bright. (Bone-Dry)

86 Antonio Galloni - Vinous

"Mixing 60% Kotsifali with 40% Syrah, the 2019 Kotsifali Syrah matured in a combination of French and American oak barrels. Farmyard notes mingle with cured meat and spicy traits. Underpinned by astringent tannins that take away some of the wine’s elegance, the 2019 needs more roundness, finesse and length in order to score higher." - Nicolas Greinacher.

90 Wine Spectator

85 MaryAnn Worobiec - Wine Spectator
