I love the currant and rosemary character of this wine. Some sage, too. Complex aromas that draw you in. Full body, extremely tight and chewy with a long and intense finish. The tannins are fantastic – so polished. Focused and beautiful. Mineral undertone with ash and hot stone highlighting the dark fruits. It goes on for minutes. Needs three or four years to come together. But a serious red all the way.

The spring and summer were worryingly dry, but some rain in August was timely, helping the grapes to ripen fully. The nose is gorgeous, with a lush oakiness and some welcome red fruits. The attack is rich and ripe, marrying immense concentration with good acidity. Despite ageing in 80% new barriques, the oak is not too evident. It's a bit monolithic now but also stylish and persistent, lifted and intense. Long, with great ageing potential.

This Bordeaux blend from sunny Tuscany has taken on more weight and volume since the last time I tasted this vintage six years ago. Having fleshed out considerably over these past years, the Fattoria le Pupille 2015 Saffredi reveals thick textural fiber. I remember using the word "exuberant" to describe many of the Tuscan wines from the 2015 vintage, and that term remains relevant to this bottle. With that warm-vintage fruit concentration and softness comes subtle tannic bitterness on the finish with abundant blackberry and blackcurrant. The wine feels ready to drink now, but given that structure, you could also opt to hold it longer. - Monica Larner

An enticing combination of black currant, plum, licorice, iron and tobacco aromas and flavors hits all the right notes. Firms up, showing density and a juicy texture before playing out gracefully on the finish. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot. Best from 2020 through 2028. — B.S.

Elegantly structured, this has aromas of underbrush, sun-baked soil and balsamic notes that lift out of the glass. On the smooth, full-bodied palate, refined tannins uphold cassis, ripe blackberry, white pepper and wild herb. KERIN O’KEEFE
