Nipozzano Mormoreto 2015

A really exciting nose that gets proceedings going here with vivid notes of crushed lavender, fresh blackcurrant essence, dried thyme and sage, licorice and Chinese spices. Full body with really polished tannins, which are so dense and yet grippy. A delightfully long finish with such vitality. Drink in 2021. Score – 95. (James Suckling, jamessuckling.com, Sept. 11, 2018)
