Stephen Brook: To Kalon Cabernet Reserve Opaque red. The nose is very reserved, though ripe and oaky. The palate is very rich, dense, and concentrated, with ripe chewy tannins that are a tad more grainy and extracted than in the regular Reserve. This bottling has more spice but rather less freshness, though they share a similar elegance. This still needs time—and probably more than the regular Reserve. Long. 17.5
