Caparzos Riserva 2019 is a big, powerful wine that needs at least a few years to mature. Dark and brooding, this Riserva shows the more masculine side of Sangiovese. Black cherry, plum, leather, spices and tobacco lie on a firm beam of acidity and tannin. This red has the explosive energy and finesse of the dream 2019 vintage and will need some time to mature before all the facets of this highly personalised wine come together – but as always with top wines: patience is rewarded! SUPERIORE.DE

"Shimmering ruby red with violet reflections. Warm-hearted nose, ripe blackberry and plum behind some cedar wood. More freshness on the palate, now reminiscent of redcurrant, some thyme and rosemary, salty, medium-long finish." Falstaff

"Inviting notes of cherries and raspberries; the attack is juicy and fresh, the acidity noticeable, the tannins robust, berry finish, nuances of stone fruit, spices and liquorice. Pleasing with its solid style." Vinum

"Still youthfully restrained on the nose, it flirts with cedar wood, leather and heather. It then shifts up a gear on the palate, with a powerful but refined, chalky tannin content and lively acidity. In comparison, the subtle flavours of wet stone and polished red cherry seem polite and tame for now. This wine will need time to develop its full expression." Decanter

"The 2019 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva opens with a mentholated freshness that combines crushed rock and mint with hints of tobacco, floral undergrowth and dried black cherries. Silky and calm, it shows remarkable weight and concentration with freshness. Waves of ripe forest fruits and fine-grained tannins tantalise the senses. The 2019 finishes with dramatic length and structure, leaving a hint of liquorice on the finish." Vinous

"This wine is lively and shows flavours of fresh cherries, blackberries, plums, black pepper, earth and menthol. Ripe, dense and lifted by powerful tannins. All the components seem to be in the right place as it finds its balance in the long finish." Wine Spectator

"The Brunello di Montalcino Riserva 2019 makes an excellent first impression thanks to the intensity of its dark fruit flavours and its well-integrated spiciness. It is a full-bodied wine with deep layers of richness and velvety tannins. There is a hint of concentrated fruit acidity (and also sweetness coming from the grape skins) that will subside as it matures in the cellar." Wine Advocate

"Restrained, lively and fruity Riserva with red cherries and raspberries, potpourri and even incense. Medium to full-bodied with a leafy flavour, velvety and ripe tannins, but with chewy acidity and a chalky finish. Good blood orange aftertaste. Better in two or three years, but already so delicious now." James Suckling
