Bt (750ml)
Stock Location: HK
Tasting note
The 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Montecillo Vineyard went into new oak but light-toast, 600-liter barrels, not the barriques that had been used in previous vintages. Whether it's the change in élevage or the jump of five years in age difference, but this wine looks more herbal and fresher than the 2012, more like the 2011—which winemaker Ketan Mody prefers. It's medium to full-bodied, linear, elegant and even slightly austere. Give it a few years in the cellar.
Score: 91+
