Opinions sur 2021 Carmignano Riserva Il Piaggia (1,5L)

Falstaff: 94

"Clear ruby red with a purple shimmer. Elegant nose, blackberry and plum, with a hint of purple and white pepper. Juicy on the palate, builds for a long time, great interplay of tannins and acidity, spicy, persistent finish"

James Suckling, jamessuckling.com: 93

"This is deep and layered, with intense dark fruit character offering dried cherries, plums, dried tangerine peel, cocoa, tobacco leaves and cedar. Tense and juicy, with a full body and fine but tight tannins. Shows good fruit concentration and length. Very attractive combination of ripe fruit, spices and earthy notes. Better after 2026"

Eric Guido, Vinous: 97

"The 2021 Carmignano Riserva Piaggia takes its time in the glass, tempting the imagination with dried violets and flowery underbrush that evolve into peppery wild berries, autumnal spices and a dusting of cocoa. Elegant and velvety in feel, this sweeps across the palate, gaining contrast through a core of mineral-inflected yet pleasantly ripe red and black fruits. Tantalizing acidity guides the experience. The 2021 finishes with dramatic length and concentration, leaving a bitter blackberry resonance to mingle with edgy tannins, while a hint of blood orange forces the mouth to water for more. The contrasting nature and sheer depth of the 2021 leave me in awe. Bury this deep in the cellar"
