On the palate, the wine offers a broad, smooth, full-bodied texture, with the tannins presenting as heavy velvet. Although this wine is clearly going to improve over the next 5 to 15 years, its sense of gravitas adds balance to the lifted, perfumed berry notes that dominate the palate expression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCritc Acclaim\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e97 Jeb Dunnuck\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDarker currants, dark chocolate, graphite, and espresso notes all emerge from the beautifully textured, dense, full-bodied, powerful 2023 M. Etain. Based on 87% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Malbec, 5% Merlot, and 3% Petit Verdot from the J.J. Cohn Vineyard and aged 18 months in 100% French oak (60% new), it has ample mid-palate depth, ripe yet polished and certainly present tannins, integrated acidity, and a great finish. This absolutely gorgeous wine will keep for 30 years if you're so inclined. Drink 2025-2055.\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e96 Wine Advocate\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eScarecrow's 2023 M. Étain is a blend of 87% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% each Malbec and Merlot and 3% Petit Verdot, drawn from the same 25-acre Rutherford vineyard as its big brother. The small proportions of blending varieties give it a more floral nose than the straight-Cabernet Scarecrow, with those elements joining bay leaves and ripe cherries on the nose. In the mouth, the wine is medium- to full-bodied, creamy and supple up front, then more tannic and velvety-textured on the lingering, dark chocolate-tinged finish.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Scarecrow","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48766643208409,"sku":"210000048763","price":269.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0350\/4717\/8372\/files\/lt2nda3ds0bws5kg5wje.jpg?v=1780097684","url":"https:\/\/flaskfinewines.com\/products\/scarecrow-m-etain-2023","provider":"Flask","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
