James Suckling 93pt

A pure cabernet sauvignon with currants and spice. Hints of herbs. Medium to full body. Bright and fine. Very pretty fruit and focus. Very fine tannins. Vivid. Bright. Drink in a year or three.

Wine Enthusiast 93pt

The nose is earthy, herbaceous and peppery, yet also cool and fresh. Undertones of sugar plums and blackberries provide a gentle sweetness which unfurls on the palate, while persistent currents of earth and pepper flow through the finish. Tannins are chalky, but delicate, like desert sand.

Vineyard

Potenti vineyard, Riotorto

Terrior

Loamy-sandy, slightly calcareous.

Description

Concentrated ruby colour in the glass. An aromatic framework that is dense and rich in shades of blackberry and blueberry jam, black cherries in syrup and then a thick cover of spices and roasting reminiscent of coffee, with bursts of herbs and balsam. The palate is strong, voluminous, vigorous, with copious, rounded tannins. Aftertaste in line with the characteristics of the nose: fruity, persistent and spicy.
