A bold, juicy wine, the 2016 Cabernet Sauvignon Legit offers plenty of immediacy. Dried herbs, tobacco and blackberry give this mid-weight Cabernet a good deal of aromatic complexity to play off its mid-weight structure. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, September 2021)

Number 26 on WS top 100 and it certainly shows why! Nicely balanced Italian Cab.

Good, but the 2013 is really too young to drink on 2020.

The bramble's present on the palate too, but the wine doesn't present as under-ripe at all. While probably best described as medium bodied, the freshness of the fruit is what's dominant here... Licorice all-sorts are a playful bonus... Medium acidity here which tied together our roast pork dinner with lardons... The finish is medium and memories of raspberry... A great Sunday dinner wine... Love it.

First sniffed it…. Gasoline came to mind. After breathing it was ok. Just ok.

Easy drinker, bold but smooth. Not too fruit, caramelly, or Smokey. It’s as clean as can be Cabernet.
