Caiarossa 2015

- 97 Punkte FALSTAFF: „Funkelndes, sattes Rubin. Sehr intensive und ansprechende Nase, satt nach Heidelbeeren, Himbeeren und Maulbeeren, schokoladig. Sehr präsente, intensive Frucht, viel Heidelbeeren, samtiges, dichtes Tannin, breitet sich lange aus, im hinteren Verlauf gute Frische mit feinem Trinkfluss, im Finale schöne Würze.“

- 96 Punkte JAMES SUCKLING: „The nose immediately shows a fabulous contrast between riper mulberries and blackberry crumble and freshly ground herbs, citrus and incense. The palate shows much the same polish, carrying bright blue-fruit flavors across a bedrock of muscular tannins and driven acidity. This finishes long and very grainy yet succulent. A blend of merlot, cabernet franc, cabernet sauvignon, syrah, sangiovese, petit verdot and alicante. Drink in 2022.“

- 94 Punkte Robert Parkers WINE ADVOCATE, Monica Larner: „The 2015 Caiarossa is expressive and profound. A lot of dark fruit intermingles with spice and toast in what is an immediate and open wine. This is a complicated blend of Cabernet Franc (31%), Merlot (20%), Cabernet Sauvignon (17%), Petit Verdot (11%), Sangiovese (10%), Syrah (9%) and Alicante (2%). The result is full, generous and tight but with a subtle tingle of volatile acidity at the close. Some 37,800 bottles were made.“

- JANCIS ROBINSON: „Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, Sangiovese, Petit Verdot, Alicante from biodynamically tended vineyards. The wine was aged tonneaux and barrels from new (30%) to three years old oak, a total of 11 months for the most delicate grapes, Alicante, up to 20 months for the most powerful ones, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Sauvignon, followed by six months in concrete. 
Impenetrably dark ruby. Internationally moulded nose of dark fruit but extremely seductive, giving much more expensive Bolgheri a run for its money. Succulent and supple and with plenty of fruit and bolstered with lots of chewy tannins. You can approach this now, but will show more depth in two to three years time. „
