Score 92/100 · Drink 2013-2017, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Oct 2009

The 1999 Fratta (67% Cabernet Sauvignon, 33% Merlot) is a dense, full-bodied offering bursting with dark fruit. This richly-textured wine is more volume than nuance, but it offers terrific balance and a fine sense of harmony, with firm yet elegant tannins that frame the close.

A blend of 66% Cabernet Sauvignon and 34% Merlot, Maculan's outstanding 1999 Fratta is a dead-ringer for a top-class Bordeaux. Made from extremely low yields of 1.5 tons of fruit per acre, it offers copious new oak notes, superb concentration, and high alcohol (14.5%). This boldly-styled, full-bodied, concentrated, tannic blockbuster requires 3-5 years of cellaring, and should age nicely for 15-16 years. A Leonardo Locascio Selection, Winebow, Hohokus, NJ; tel. (201) 445-0620
