    "There’s good cut to this structured red, with pure notes of raspberry coulis and dried cherry wrapped around burly tannins. Accents of licorice, mocha and tar ring out on the lasting, grippy finish. Decant this well in advance or hold in the cellar."

  • Collepiano, Montefalco Sagrantino DOCG – 2011 – 92 points – jamessuckling.com
