Sweet enough to be a liqueur, but enough earthy spice tones from the rye grain to balance it out.

Pale greenish yellow, silver glints. Finely dusted herbal savoury nuances, meadow herbs, alluring whiffs of white stone fruit, fine orange zest, and a tobacco touch. Juicy, full-bodied, elegant, refined expression of exotic fruit, sophisticated acidity, lovely creamy texture marked by a saline finish. Excellent length, accessible, with promising ageing potential.

Subtle aromas of sunbaked earth, ripe berry and camphor take shape in the glass along with a floral note. The elegant palate is on the lighter side of medium-bodied, offering tart red cherry, ground clove and a hint of mocha alongside polished tannins.

Intense and captivating, amiable in the scents of wet red flowers, blue prunes, blueberry juice and sweet caramel. The secondary scene is radiant thanks to the synchronous presence of geraniums, rose petals and star of anise. Medium bodied, fine grained tannins perfectly integrated, a slim finale which excites in the graceful, luminous closing.

Aromatic in a richness of caramelized brioche and baked lemon, the layers of flavor in this full-bodied, voluptuous wine follow suit, providing plenty of length and opulence. A buttery back note adds to the complex, appealing intensity. Virginie Boone

This soft wine shows a relatively high dosage, giving a ripe strawberry-fruit character. The acidity and fruit are gentle, hinting at a tannic edge from red wine in the blend.

This wine is beginning to show hints of maturity in its toasty flavors both from aging and also from barrel fermentation of the Chardonnay in the blend. That contrasts with the fresh citrus and white fruits of its younger days. The wine, with its tight texture, is ready to drink.

This structured Sagrantino is loaded with blackberry, spice, leather and balsamic herb sensations. It also demonstrates the grape's massive tannins that will give this wine many more years of staying power.
