99 points from James Suckling (who for decades reviewed these wines for the Wine Spectator, before going out on his own):
A delightful nose of creme de cassis, hot stones and crushed violets and spices. Full body, chewy and super polished tannins and a long finish, which really takes off thanks to electric acidity. An essay in balance and depth. Best ever. Puts Argentiera with the best of the best in Tuscany. A blend of cabernet sauvignon, merlot and cabernet franc.
That’s not only higher than the 2015 Sassicaia…it’s higher than every Sassicaia he’s reviewed over the decades…including the legendary 1985!
For such an obviously world class Cabernet blend, this one is a relative bargain.
