Il Borro 2018

Aromas of blackberries, tar and bark. Complex. Full-bodied with ultra-fine tannins that spread across the palate. Fresh and vivid. Seamless. 50% merlot, 35% cabernet sauvignon and 15% syrah. Beautiful to drink now, but will be even better in three or four years. [This will cellar into the late 2030s.] Score – 97. (jamessuckling.com, Dec. 1, 2022)
