Tirrenico 2016 91 VIN Mar20

The 2016 Tirrenico is a blend of predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon, with Alicante, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. All of the resonance and breadth of the Tuscan Maremma comes through in this super-expressive red from the Mazzei family. Striking aromatic top notes from the Cabernets carry the wine through to a finish laced with succulent red cherry, spice, cedar and sweet tobacco. – A.G.
