"So much black licorice and aniseed with blackberries and blueberries. Medium-bodied with very refined and polished tannins that run the length of the wine. Crunchy, solid and juicy. A blend of cabernet franc, syrah and merlot. Needs time to soften, but very pretty. Better after 2027." 95 Points, James Suckling "The 2020 Turpino, which I tasted from barrel last year,...

"The 2019 Turpino, Querciabella's top wine from Maremma, is understated and yet quite expressive. Black cherry, plum, mocha, spice and licorice are nicely lifted by a good dose of Cabernet Franc in the blend. This aromatic, layered red holds quite a bit of appeal. I would prefer to drink it over the next handful of years." 93, Antonio Galloni, Vinous

From a single site on the lower side of Chambolle-Musigny rich in loam. Shows a riper fruit profile with zip and freshness on the clean finish.

"The 2023 Bianco Drago is decidedly savory in style, with a bouquet of wild herbs, musky citrus and wet stones.

It possesses incredible energy despite a solid core of ultra-ripe wildberry fruits and a saturation of bitter cocoa that infuses the palate toward the close. The 2021 resonates with zesty tension and a tart blackberry intensity, yet leaves the...

"Lush, ripe blueberries, fleshy black cherries, baked plums, minerals and violets. A touch of cocoa powder and espresso beans. Concentrated and full-bodied on the palate with lots of flavors rounded by filigreed tannins. Ripe, fleshy core of dark fruit in the middle. Long and broad. Already drinkable, but better from 2025." 95, Zekun Shuai, James Suckling
