2016 vintage. Mainly Cabernet Sauvignon from the Maremma. While it is a nice well-made, even complex wine, it doesn't touch me. This will impress many people, but it lacks soul to me, especially at this +100 euros price point.

Mid weight, expressive with comforting notes of plum, cherry and leather. Sustains nicely with considerable grip.

375ml. This is drinking beautifully. Dark ruby. Big, rich, and complex, but very well-balanced. Some secondary flavors emerging Love this — so much to enjoy...

Popped and poured. Consumed over 3 days. Beautiful aromas of cassis, tobacco and some damp earth. Deep garnet in the glass showing some extremely fine sediment; so fine you can't notice on the palate. Day 1, the fruit is showing quite fresh with tobacco and sous bois peeking through; everything seems to be very well balanced. Really, this is quite quaff-able at the moment but it was late so we pushed the cork back in the neck and left it for another day. Coming back to this on Day 3 and the Lupicaia is still delivering. Dark fruits are still fresh however, secondary notes of leather, espresso and cocoa have taken a more prominent role. Delicious and clearly has the legs to cellar for years to come. Would pair well with food but drank just fine on its own. Drink now or Hold.

Super smokey with dark fruit. Very terroir driven. Tannins have relaxed and it's drinking wonderfully.

Very structured and bold wine. Has an overwhelming almost charred aromas, embers, roasted peppers and meats, sautéed wild sage, and balsamic reduction bouquet. Great flavor and long finish. A nice wine to hold.

Nice raisin and strewed red fruit aroma and lovely dark ruby, starting to turn brick in colour
