Score: 96-100 (100 possible)
A potentially perfect offering, the 2002 Cabernet Sauvignon Beckstoffer Vineyard To-Kalon reveals the same inky/purple color as the 2001, as well as a classic perfume of crème de cassis intermixed with cedar, licorice, and spice box. Boasting nearly immortal levels of concentration and intensity, it is an amazing tour de force in winemaking, proof of just how extraordinary this vineyard site can be. It will require 5-8 years of cellaring, and should last for 25+ years. A modern day Napa legend in the making.
