Back then, the winery enlisted the help of celebrated winemaker André Tchelistcheff. As he tasted through various lots of new wines from that year, one lot from S.L.V. was so beautiful and deliciously distinct the winery decided it should be bottled separately. It was named CASK 23 for the large wooden cask in which it was aged. Today, the wine is a blend of the most distinctive fruit from the S.L.V and FAY vineyards, resulting in a wine of extraordinary depth and richness balanced by restraint. Over the years, CASK 23 has become one of the most highly regarded and collected wines worldwide.\u003c\/dd\u003e\n\u003c\/dl\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTypical blend, Cabernet Sauvignon. 75cl bottle, Abv 14%\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBottle condition, capsule excellent, label excellent, wine level high fill\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"relative\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTasting Note 17\/03\/2025 - \u003cspan class=\"score\" itemprop=\"reviewRating\" itemscope=\"\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/Rating\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"static\" itemprop=\"ratingValue\"\u003e98\u003c\/span\u003e Points\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp itemprop=\"reviewBody\" class=\"break_word\"\u003eDeep purple with a violet rim. 4 hour decant.
