  This is still quite youthful with plenty of tannins and baby-fat to resolve but it's filled in a bit and expanded since my last tasting a year ago. Quite juicy and ripe Cab Franc with superb depth and power but I feel like authentic flavors of bluish fruits and tobacco are lurking underneath. Needs more time to properly evaluate but the potential might be enormous given the class of the material here. 93+

  Amazing wine! Drunk in a blind tasting of 10 bottles, included Chateau Cheval Blanc 2009. Matarocchio was best wine of the night. One of best italian wines I ever drunk.

  A beautifully delineated wine that's quite young and fairly closed at this point compared to say the '15. There is a purity here that is fascinating and the wine has a finesse about it that is so attractive. It shows deep flavors of bluish fruits and tobacco leaf with a refined texture and excellent mineral cut on the finish which is tannic in a chiseled way. There is great complexity lurking underneath and this is a medium-bodied, finesse-driven vintage for this wine that needs more cellar time. 93+
