2015 Scrio
The 2015 Scrio is without doubt the best they have made here. James Suckling has been quick to give this the perfect score of 100 points and the wine really is impressive. A fabulous example of what is possible here from this still young DOC and a great reward for the team’s faith in planting this noble variety in Bolgheri, where Bordeaux varieties tend to steal the headlines.
A stunning syrah; the real McCoy for the variety. The depth of aroma takes your breath away with bark, tea leaves, peppermint, dried rosemary, thyme, sage, pressed violets, cedar, creme de cassis, blackcurrants and lavender. The palate is incredibly tight and yet, profound in its delivery of flavors. Full body, layer upon layer of fruit of every color on the spectrum, pinpoint acidity and a finish that seems endless. Drink in 2025 and way beyond.
100/100, James Suckling
