Colgin Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley Tychson Hill 2010

98 points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "The 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon Tychson Hill opens with a beguiling nose of tar, licorice, black cherries, plums and menthol. Rich, layered and powerful, the 2010 impresses for its massive structure and sheer depth. The 2010 boasts stunning textural resonance and pure power. When I tasted this wine for the first time, it reminded me of the 2001. It is an almost uncharacteristically huge, powerful Tychson Hill that will require a few years to show at its very best. The 2010 is 95% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot. Drink: 2016-2025. (Dec 2012)"

97 points Stephen Tanzer (Vinous): "Deep red-ruby. Sappy aromas of black raspberry, blackberry, mocha and cracked pepper. Incredibly vivid and high-pitched on the palate, with the vibrant dark berry flavors complicated by orange peel, espresso and pungent minerality. Conveys an impression of great density without weight. Best today on the inexorable, slowly mounting finish, which finishes with substantial but utterly refined tannins and great lift and length. Stunning already but it would be a shame not to allow this beauty to express itself more fully, as it has the size, balance and acidity to support a long and graceful evolution in bottle. I underrated this wine in the early going. Drink: 2020-2036. (Apr 2015)"

96 points Robert Parker: "The 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon Tychson Hill is virtually all Cabernet Sauvignon except for tiny dollops of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. It offers up gorgeous aromas of lavender, creme de cassis, violets, toast, incense and camphor. Layered, full-bodied and rich with great purity, focus and symmetry, this stunning effort from one of the tenderloin corridors of Napa Valley can be drunk early on or cellared for another 25-30 years.
