Le Pupille - Saffredi 2015

98-99 JAMES SUCKLING: "Another wow. This is truly sensational with a depth of fruit and incredible depth and polish. Full, silky tannins and a long and flavorful finish. Exciting barrel sample." 97 ANTONIO GALLONI VINOUS: "The 2015 Saffredi is a total head-turner. Bold and explosive, the 2015 captures all the magic that Le Pupille is capable of. Crème de cassis, lavender, mint, licorice and truffle are some of the notes that give the 2015 is decidedly exotic, racy personality. Even with all of its abundant richness, the 2015 possesses terrific supporting structure and phenomenal balance. In a word: magnificent! I can´t wait to see how the 2015 ages." 96 THE WINEADVOCATE: "The 2015 Saffredi is a sultry and velvety wine from the Tuscan Coast. The blend is 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and 10% Petit Verdot that sees 18 months in new and neutral oak. The textural richness is of the highest caliber, and the bouquet produces a long succession of black fruit, exotic spice and savory tobacco flavors. There´s a touch of mocha chocolate and toasted espresso bean as well. The wine delivers great length and power. It promises not only to age but to improve as it spends more years in the cellar. Some 30,000 bottles are made." 95 DECANTER: "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." 17 JANCIS ROBINSON: "Lustrous mid ruby with orange tinges. Luxurious nose of concentrated cherry and fine oak notes. A hint of tobacco leaf potentially indicating it is already developing, perhaps an indication of the hot vintage? Intense sour-cherry fruit and bags of powdery tannins. Can be approached now."

JAMES SUCKLING: "Another wow. This is truly sensational with a depth of fruit and incredible depth and polish. Full, silky tannins and a long and flavorful finish. Exciting barrel sample."

JEB DUNNUCK: "Reminding me of the 1990, the 2015 Château Pichon Baron is a sensational bottle of wine made from 80% Cabernet Sauvignon and 20% Merlot that spent 18 months in 80% new French oak. Boasting a deep purple color as well as awesome notes of black raspberries, toasted spices, cassis, lead pencil shavings, tobacco leaf and building minerality, this full-bodied, concentrated 2015 has sweet tannin, a great texture, and a big, big finish. Pauillac all the way, with both opulence and finesse, forget bottles of 4-5 years and enjoy anytime over the following two to three decades. This is a match for the 2009, 2000, and 1990."

WEINWISSER: "50 % Caber - net Sauvi gnon, 45 % Merlot, 5 % Petit Verdot und Syrah. Notiz aus dem Le Pupille-Spezial mit grossem Interview mit Elisabetta Geppetti in WW 02/19. 50 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 45 % Merlot, 5 % Petit Verdot und Syrah. Schon das komplexe, tiefe und schier «sexy» Bouquet verführt dazu, die Nase ganz tief ins Glas fallen zu lassen. Sehr weit gefächerte Struktur, tiefwürzig, fast dunkel mit herr licher Macchia-Würze und Kräutrigkeit: Wilder Fenchel und Salbei vermengen sich mit dunkler Schokolade, Lakritz, frisch geröstetem Mokka sowie mit reifen blauen und schwarzen Früchten. Jüngere Sommeliers würden wohl von einem «verführerischen dunklen Würzmonster » sprechen. Aber es ist viel mehr. Denn im Mund zeigt er, dass er trotz seiner immensen Fülle und Intensität auch sehr gute Manieren hat, hat Anlagen für eine halbe Ewigkeit und dürfte zu purem Hedonismus heranreifen, kann aber auch in seiner jetzigen «Sturm- und Drang-Phase» mit viel Genuss getrunken werden."

WINE SPECTATOR: "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. 3,000 cases made, 200 cases imported."

WINE ENTHUSIAST: "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."

A hint of tobacco leaf potentially indicating it is already developing, perhaps an indication of the hot vintage? Intense sour-cherry fruit and bags of powdery tannins. Can be approached now."
