Barone Ricasoli Casalferro 2020

This rich, pure red is generous in its flavors of black cherry, blackberry, plum, fruitcake, earth and spices. The tannins are well-integrated and overall this is harmonious and long, echoing the lush fruit and spice elements. This is all about elegance and finesse, making it approachable now. Merlot. Drink now through 2038. Score – 96. (Bruce Sanderson, winespectator.com, Oct. 31, 2024)
