100% Cabernet Sauvignon. Fantastic rhubarb, beetroot, sausage, tomato leaf, mint, menthol and eucalyptus. Splendid balance of tannin, body and fruit intensity, with plenty of potential for ageing whilst presenting a very drinkable style now with buckets of complexity. Cries out for fine food. (RH)

Score 87/100 · Daniel Thomases, Vinous
Dark, full ruby. Fairly sizable nose, but the vegetal notes suggest cabernet franc more than cabernet sauvignon. Solid and round on the palate, with good volume and length, but the wine's asparagus and bell pepper notes diminish the impact of the cassis fruit. Too green for a cabernet from central Italy.
