No cru bottling in 2018, so this entry gets all the premium juice.
Beautiful nose of strawberry, sour cherry, raspberry, licorice, steeped tea, and rose petals. Lean medium body yet juicy. Tannins are still quite tight.
Good showing from a so-so vintage. — 4 days ago

Our princess her birthday. Time for the yearly 2011. This Sammarco was soo good. A bit of VA in the nose, sweet start and than the acidity kicks in. Very balanced. And quite some time ahead. Wow! — 5 days ago

9.2

Ruby in color with aromas of ripe cherry, raspberry, vanilla, and earthy hints. Decanting softens the smoky notes, revealing bright red fruit and a touch of licorice. The palate is dry and well-balanced, with smooth tannins, refreshing acidity, and a long, fruity finish. A versatile, well-structured wine that pairs easily with food.
