"Balanced vintage overall, concentrated with an enjoyable sense of restraint, vivid lift, baking spices, cumin, turmeric, blackberry and loganberry fruit. Unfiltered and unfined. Chloe Asseo director, Stephan Asseo owner and winemaker, from the Willow Creek district of Paso Robles. Mix of one year old and new oak, 63% new oak in this vintage." (07/2026)

The 2023 Optimus is bright and vibrant, with a burst of crushed raspberries, sweet sage, nuances of exotic spice and pine shavings. Silken yet spry, it races across the palate with rose-laced red berry fruit and a licorice tinge. Edgy tannins resonate, offset by a residual bump of brisk acidity as the 2023 finishes long yet remarkably fresh. This is deceptively approachable today, yet also built for the cellar.

A gorgeous, sensational effort, the 2023 Optimus is based on 54% Syrah, 23% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 23% Petit Verdot and aged 18 months in 37% new French oak with the balance in once-used wood. Rocking aromatics of darker berries, peppery herbs, graphite, liquid violets, and some classic Paso minerality define the bouquet, and it's medium to full-bodied, focused, and beautifully balanced on the palate, with ripe tannins. It's up with the best Optimus to date. If you're an L'Aventure fan, buy this. Drink 2026-2041. (09/2026)
