Meningen over 2020 San Leonardo (0,75L)

Monica Larner, robertparker.com: 95+

"The 2020 San Leonardo is a historic blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Carmenère and Merlot born from the vision of the Guerrieri Gonzaga family and the legendary Italian enologist Giacomo Tachis, who worked on this wine from 1985 until 2002 (when current winemaker Carlo Ferrini took over). San Leonardo shares a similar blueprint as Sassicaia, and like that giant of Tuscany, this bottle really starts to strut its stuff with at least 10 years of bottle age. At this young stage, it shows tart berry flavors and some green herbal overtones. Experience teaches us that the wine starts off slow but eventually leans into polished, silky tannins and bright flavor intensity. Patience is required."

"Dark ruby colour with brick-red tendencies. A colourful potpourri of recurring aromas on the nose, of blackcurrant, black-bread crust, tobacco leaf, mocha and leather, very complex. Expansive, with very fine tannins and precise fruit. Harmonious and very long on the finish"

"An elegant, cool-climate wine with aromas of citrus leaves, kiwis, eucalyptus, leather, smoke and dark tobacco. Medium-bodied, it shows leafy flavors, soft and elegant silky tannins, crisp yet integrated acidity, a brilliant finish and a long, brooding aftertaste. Vegan. Sustainable. Drinkable now, but best from 2026."
