James Suckling: 97

This is at a different level, with blackcurrants, blueberries and Mediterranean herbs, such as rosemary and sage. So tobacco and coffee bean. Medium-bodied with fine tannins and a persistent finish. Sophisticated and thought-provoking. A new quality level with this wine. A blend of cabernet sauvignon, merlot and sangiovese. Give this three to five years.

Blueberry, black currant and pomegranate flavors are accented by oak spice, graphite and rosemary notes in this fresh, long red. Taut and vibrant, with terrific balance and a fine-grained band of tannins lining the finish. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Sangiovese. Best from 2026 through 2043. 5,500 cases made, 500 cases imported.

Falstaff: 96

Bright ruby ​​red. Expressive, sweet fruity bouquet of cassis and blackberry, with notes of ebony, tobacco leaf, cocoa and smoke, complex. Stretches like a silk scarf over the palate, with precise fruit and fine-grained tannins, juicy and with gentle pressure right up to the long finish.
