Castello Romitorio 'Il Toro' 2020
An unusual blend of French varietals from Rhône and Bordeaux, this eclectic marriage of Syrah and Petit Verdot makes this super-Tuscan quite singular. The scents of black fruits, spices and cherry join aromas of charred oak. Rather robust, it has the makings of a cellar-worthy wine, but is still accessible now.
93 Points - James Suckling
Strawberries, red cherries, bark, walnuts, cedar and chocolate orange on the nose with hints of truffle. Medium-bodied with firm, chalky tannins. Focused and flavorful.
