Expert Reviews
Delivers cherry and strawberry fruit shaded by earth and spices, all backed by a line of compact, vibrating tannins. This red settled down with aeration, yet needs time to integrate, still tipping to the dry side in the balance. Best from 2025 through 2040.

The ... 2018 ... does a great job at putting bright fruit in the spotlight, and this is not something that you can always say of its peers, especially in this challenging vintage. Red cherry, raspberry and blackcurrant sit at the core of this wine. Those tones are neatly framed by light spice, pressed rose and candied orange peel. This wine [stands out] in a crowd thanks to its lively primary intensity and its transparent Sangiovese characteristics. The close is lean and streamlined. This wine sees 38 months in large casks made with French oak.
