Aromas of blackberries and licorice with some sage and Tuscan rosemary follow through to a full body with integrated tannins that are polished and creamy. Lovely balance and length. Try after 2025.

“Fantastic aromas of dried lemon, light resin and pine needle that turn to peaches and light toffee. Firm and tight with a compressed palate. Tight, creamy tannins. The finish goes on for minutes. Unique. A selection of the best ancient vines of carricante (100 years old) from the vineyard of Archineri, macerated for 10 months with skin contact. Drinkable now, but will age beautifully.” – James Suckling, Aug 2022

“Aromas of red cherries, rosemary, thyme, sliced strawberries and a distinct note of ash. Medium-bodied with creamy but slightly tense tannins. Lovely length, with subtle and balanced intensity here. Savory and firm. Drink or hold.” – James Suckling, Aug 2022

Licorice, new leather and crushed blue flower aromas form the nose. The licorice note segues over to the firm, elegantly structured palate along with dried cherry, raspberry compote, truffle and white pepper. Polished tannins provide support. – Kerin O’Keefe

Floral aromas of rose and violet waft out of the glass along with whiffs of dark spice and menthol. Linear and elegant, the taut, medium-bodied palate offers red cherry, crushed raspberry and star anise alongside bright acidity. Tightly wound, fine-grained tannins leave a somewhat drying finish. Drink 2025–2030.

Aromas of eucalyptus oil and rose mingle with forest floor and red berry. It’s linear and polished, showing cherry soaked in spirits, raspberry compote and licorice alongside taut, fine-grained tannins. Drink 2023–2028.

Darker fruit on the nose with walnut, spice box, incense and espresso bean, too. Medium-bodied, firm and structured with polished tannins and a creamy, compact mid-palate. Quality dark oak spice throughout. Long and rich. Better from 2024.
