Monteverro 2013

95 THE WINEADVOCATE: "A beautiful wine, the 2013 Monteverro sports a thickly extracted and slightly retro style that recalls the heyday of the super Tuscans. It offers a subtle twist of nostalgia, but it does so with a confident personality. Dark fruit, spice, tobacco and cured leather come together as a united front. The blend consists of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Petit Verdot. The mouthfeel delivers ample power and textural richness." Drink: 2017 - 2030 - Monica Larner. 19 RENÈ GABRIEL: "Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Petit Verdot. Dunkel, farblich schon beeindruckend. Wuchtiges Power-Bouquet; reife Frucht, zarte Röstung – alles gebündelt und intensiv. Im Gaumen geht diese Orgie weiter und dieser Monteverro zeigt endlich, wohin er will. Zu den ganz grossen Weinen Italiens gehörend. Das ist die Erfüllung der Weber-Vision." 92 WINESPECTATOR: "Black cherry, milk chocolate and spice flavors are the hallmarks of this powerful red. Still closed on the finish, which remains fresh and ends with a peppery element. Shows fine balance overall. Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot. Best from 2019 through 2027. 1,400 cases made." 97 JAMES SUCKLING: "This is a Bordeaux blend that competes with the best of Tuscany such as Sassiciaia and Ornellaia. It´s so structured and refined with beautiful length and sophistication. Full body and gorgeous tension. Fantastic aromas and flavors of currants, plums and tile. Hints of hazelnuts and lavender. Linear and polished on the finish. A wine that delivers so much now but will be even better in four to five years. Best ever from here. From organically grown grapes." 19 - 20 WEINWISSER: "2013 Monteverro: Dichtes, opakes Weinrot mit festem Kern und violetten Reflexen. Vielschichtiges Bouquet mit mineralischen Anklägen, Bleistift, Johannisbrot, Cassis, Pflaume und Minze. Da ist schon viel Maremma- Supertuscan-Musik drin. Am Gaumen ungemein intensiv, kraftvoll mit viel Extrakt und Dichte, dabei immer geschmeidig und feinmaschig bleibend, mit guter Tiefe und Komplexität."
