At just 5 years of age, this is drinking great! Medium-bodied, soft, round and lush, with a beautiful mix of wet earth, cherry and plum on the nose and palate, ending with silky textures and earthy pit fruits. I am sure this will be enjoyable to taste for at least another 15 or more years.

Much better from bottle than it was in barrel, which is always a good thing. Right? Medium/full bodied, with soft, elegant textures and a beautiful purity to the plums and cherries, that are perfectly blended with all the wet earth, thyme and cocoa you could ask for. The finish is soft, fresh and filled with ripe fruits.

A bowl of sun-ripened, hand-polished plums adorned with spice and cherry notes, this wine exhibits earthy complexities, soft tannins and freshness, making this the best vintage of La Cabanne I have ever tasted. 90-92 Pts

When to Drink Chateau La Cabanne, Anticipated Maturity, Decanting Time

Chateau La Cabanne can be enjoyed on the young side with 1 hour to 90 minutes of decanting. This allows the wine to soften and open its perfume. Older vintages might need very little decanting, just enough to remove the sediment.

The wine is usually better after 4-7 years of bottle age. Of course, that can vary slightly, depending on the vintage character. In the best years, the wine will be best, between 5 and 15 years of age after the vintage.

Serving Chateau La Cabanne with Wine, Food, Pairing Tips

Chateau La Cabanne is best served at 15.5 degrees Celsius, 60 degrees Fahrenheit. The cool, almost cellar temperature gives the wine more freshness and lift.

Chateau La Cabanne is best paired with all types of classic meat dishes, veal, pork, beef, lamb, duck, game, roast chicken, roasted braised, and grilled dishes. Chateau La Cabanne is also good with Asian dishes, and hearty fish courses like tuna, mushrooms, and pasta.

The Estager family owns other Right Bank properties. The best known are Chateau Haut Maillet and Chateau Plincette, which are both in Pomerol. Chateau La Paperterie is located in the St. Emilion satellite commune of Montagne Saint Emilion, and Chateau de Gachet is in the Lalande de Pomerol appellation.
