Monica Larner. 30. August 2019:
The 2016 Morellino di Scansano Riserva has made a great leap forward in recent vintages. The blend is 90% Sangiovese and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon. and the wine is aged in old Saffredi barrique along with larger botte. The wine shows a stunning crispness and a sharp focus in this vintage. It opens to black cherry notes and generous red fruit. with very lightly toasted almond and spice at the back. The mouthfeel is full. and while the bouquet starts off a bit closed. the finish grows steadily in volume and girth. It would be a nice accompaniment to grilled portobello mushrooms. Some 60.000 bottles were made. This wine offers excellent value from coastal Tuscany.
James Suckling beschreibt den Wein im Juli 2019 wie folgt:
This is very dense and polished with a beautiful texture of fruit and polished tannins. Creamy and caressing. Full body. Tight and intense. Complex flavors of berries. spices. cedar and chocolate. as well as light meat. Equal to the excellent 2015. Sangiovese and cabernet sauvignon. Drink or hold.
