Description
This is a dark and concentrated edition of Il Bruciato. Bursting with blackberry, black plum and vibrant cherry touches. Some sweet spice and vanilla too. A portion of the Merlot and Syrah were fermented at slightly lower temperatures in order to protect varietal expressiveness and lighter, pretty aromas.
This keeps the wine in check brilliantly and provides balance. The blend for 2021 also includes some of the estate’s prized Cabernet Franc and a little Petit Verdot. A little bit of patience here will be key. This has a great future ahead of it.

Critics reviews
James Suckling 92/100
Cocoa, walnuts, cherries and bay leaves on the nose. Well-integrated and medium-bodied with powdery, dusty tannins and some mineral iron notes at the end. Drink or hold.james_suckling, jamessuckling_com (October 2023)
