Lobenberg: Ein Blend aus Cabernet Sauvignon und Cabernet Franc. Kräftiges Dunkelrot. Obwohl deutlich fokussiert, verströmt der Wein eine wahnsinnige Fruchtintensität, fast ein Rausch von roten Früchten und exotischen Gewürzen. Im Mund haben wir Kirsche, getrocknete Johannisbeere, Kardamom, Bockshornklee, Kakao und Zimt. Wahnsinnig dicht und muskulös und trotzdem raffiniert. Beeindruckend ist die schiere Reinheit des Weines, nahtlos von Anfang bis Ende. Die Tannine sind sehr strukturiert, aber fein poliert. Eine glänzende Samt-Sensation mit wunderbarer Länge. 100/100

Parker über: Maya

-- Parker: The very deep garnet-purple colored 2018 Maya is shy and restrained to begin. With swirling, it begins to reveal beguiling notes of fragrant earth, lavender, garrigue and Sichuan pepper, giving way to a core of wild blueberries, boysenberries, black raspberries and black currants plus a hint of iron ore. The palate is full-bodied, revealing itself in slow-releasing layers of black and blue fruits with exhilarating earth and mineral sparks, framed by firm, beautifully ripe tannins and bold freshness, finishing on a persistent ferrous note. As cerebral as it is downright hedonic, this Maya is simply jaw-dropping. 100/100

Jeb Dunnuck über: Maya

-- Jeb Dunnuck: A smaller production cuvée from a single parcel of the estate vineyard, the 2018 Maya Proprietary Red Wine is the normal 60/40 split of Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon brought up in a mix of new and used barrels. Incredibly perfumed with complex notes of blue fruits, flowers, loamy earth, graphite, and tobacco, it hits the palate with full-bodied richness, polished, silky tannins, no hard edges, and a finish that won’t quit. While this is a rich, concentrated wine, it’s the complexity, elegance, and finesse that define this cuvée, which is going to benefit from just short-term cellaring and cruise for 2-3 decades. 100/100

Suckling über: Maya

-- Suckling: A polished, full-bodied red with aromas and flavors of blueberry, black cherry, sandalwood and crushed praline. Superb flavor intensity and a creamy texture, supported by firm, velvety tannins. Lingering vanilla notes. Delicious already, but better from 2022. 98/100

Galloni über: Maya

-- Galloni: The 2018 Maya is stratospheric. Inky, deep and wonderfully layered, Maya is off the charts. Inky red/purplish fruit, cedar, licorice, spice, tobacco and mocha are some of the many notes that grace the 2018. The wine is young, but exceptional and vivid. Maya is usually much more forbidding at this stage, this is an incredibly refined vintage. The purity and delineation of the flavors is unreal. Moreover, the 2018 is a wine of extreme pleasure. 98/100
