Brancaia Ilatraia 2019

This has aromas of blackberries, blackcurrants, black olives, cedar, dark chocolate, praline, salted almonds and spearmint. Some gun metal and graphite, too. Creamy and caressing, with velvety tannins and a full body. Delicious salted-chocolate notes. So much power and concentration, yet it remains elegant. Long. Drink from 2023 [through early 2040s]. Score – 97. (jamessuckling.com, Dec. 1, 2022)
