Wine Spectator 94 points: This offers all the trim sleekness of a well-built racing sailboat

2018 Saffredi Magnum 1,5 Ltr Le Pupille age-worthy wineSuckling 97, A fantastic nose to this with currant, sage, rosemary and rose petal character. Sweet tobacco and spicy chocolate, too. Very complex. The palate shows lovely depth of fruit with blackberries, black currants and fine tannins. It's racy and refined with a direct, focused palate. Just a baby. A blend of cabernet sauvignon 60%, merlot 32% and petite verdot 8%. This needs at least two or three years to soften. Try in 2023. Parker Monica Larner
