A relatively obscure grape in America, Marco Sara being one of the better offerings that I have tasted since my first experience tasting this grape at the Ristorante al Gobbo di Rialto in Venice years ago.

VM: 90. Masses of violet and lavender florals give way to crushed wild berries and peppery herbs as the 2022 Schioppettino blossoms in the glass. This is sleek and racy with cooling acidity, crisp red berry fruits and savory spices. Zesty acidity maintains fabulous energy throughout. It finishes staining and long yet only lightly tannic, leaving the mouth watering for more. — 14 days ago

2020 vintage. Last tasted 8.15.23 (9.4). Tasted today with the winemaker, Sara. Consistent noticías. A beautiful effort/hybridization in successfully bridging and incorporating both the old school Napa and the new school Napa. Class is in session. 13.7% ABV. 100% Cabbage. A whopping 175 cases made. HBD, Maria! 4.12.24. — a year ago

The 2018 Léoville-Poyferré performs similarly to the bottle tasted a few weeks earlier in the UK for my in-bottle round-up, although here I sense more opulence on the nose, perhaps more florality. The palate is medium-bodied with succulent ripe tannins, broad and sensual, plummy with that beguiling symmetry on the finish. It needs several years in bottle but it will be well worth the wait. Tasted at the Léoville-Poyferré vertical at the château with Sara Lecompte Cuvelier. (Neal Martin, Vinous, September 2022)

Been 2 years and wow is this a stunner. Nose is gorgeous with mashed roses, tobacco, cigar, spice and other florals. Some rich cherry fruit as well. Red all the way. Really perfumed and aromatic. Just stunning. Palate is rich and deep with awesome freshness and cut and such velvety and sweet tannins. Unreal finish and delicacy. Terrific clarity and purity of fruit. Tannins getting bigger with air but it’s so gorgeous and balanced. Amazing length to the finish. — 8 months ago
