Scrio Rosso 2007 Le Macchiole

Avis professionnels

Robert Parker (97)

The estate’s 2007 Scrio (Syrah) is simply breathtaking. This rich, opulent red caresses the palate seamlessly with masses of dark fruit in a large-scaled expression of Syrah. Spices, mint and flowers develop in the glass, adding further shades of nuance. The plushness of the fruit builds towards a rich, immensely rewarding finish. Scrio is fermented in open-top French oak barriques, and the oak is noticeable at this stage, so the wine is best left alone in the cellar for a few years. This is magnificent juice! Anticipated maturity: 2017-2027.

Round and juicy, with spice, chocolate, meat and berry character. Full and velvety-textured, with sweet, ripe fruit, but balanced. Very classy. Syrah.
