Isole E Olena Cepparello 2022 1500ml
DOZEN: $7,140.00 or $595.00 each
Bright ruby with good intensity. Elegant nose in tones of violets anticipating plum, blood orange and cherries in syrup, enveloped by hints of damp earth, tobacco and spices; then mouthwatering coffee roasts emerge. Already silky tannins, set within a framework of delicate freshness, refined structure and fruity aftertaste, with a coherent finish of spices and roasted memories. A wine of great promise, but one that already reveals remarkable readiness and a very contemporary character. (97) DOCTOR WINE
This pioneering supertuscan used to be all small oak, but in 2022 25% of the blend is aged in large oak, and for 2024 this is 50%. They want 18 months in wood, but can't do this with just barriques any more: the wine would be too developed. Brooding, tarry, spicy nose with nice red cherry and berry fruits. The palate is bold, juicy and bright with raspberry and red cherry fruit, showing freshness with lovely juiciness and some redcurrant hints. This is fruit forward but also has good structure. It's quite Nebbiolo-like, with amazing precision, focus and elegance. JAMIE GOODE
