BB | Ruby to pink. Restrained, composed, youthful, inviting, cherries, raspberries, fresh cut herbs nose. Super refined palate, super fine tannins, weight less, complex with layered, super pristine red fruit and long, mineral finish. A class act.Drink Dates: 2030 - 2040. 97
AJ | Dark, clear black-red. The fruits are more forthright here than for most: a trumpet blast of currant and plum (though being Brunello, the trumpet blast is finely tuned and modulated). Amply sweet and yet, typically for 2019, the sweetness is never cloying or overdrawn, and there's a resolving freshness too which must come from healthy berries picked at the cusp of ripeness. Vivid, fresh, concentrated, allusive, energetic, arresting: a super wine here, one which powers through the mouth scattering fruited splendour behind it. It does need a little longer to settle down but this bodes very well for the future. A fine site, for sure, and it has all come together here in 2019.Drink Dates: 2026 - 2038. 94
MP | Gorgeous nose with notes of cranberry, red cherry, wild strawberry, tomato leaf, cinnamon, oregano and wild rose. The palate is no less intriguing with the red and black fruit playing off notes of incense, tobacco, white pepper and liquorice. The tannins are part wood / part grape and balanced by the ripe fruit and warming alcohol. The structure and the fruit drive a long finish that shows poise and the balance necessary to age. A tour de force.Drink Dates: 2028 - 2037. 98
