Nuances of cedar and pine give way to rum-soaked cherry, cinnamon and dusty rose as the 2020 Turriga makes itself known in the glass. This is elegant and polished in feel with silken textures and cool-toned acidity. Tart wild berry fruits combine with hints of rosemary and sour citrus in the mouth. The 2020 leaves a pleasantly grippy feel and a bitter tinge as it finishes with remarkable length and potency. Turriga was once such a large-scale and brooding wine, but it has transformed into a model of well-measured power. (EG)

A lovely range of plum sauce and blackberry paste flavors is accented by warm earth, herbed olive and graphite notes in this focused red. Light, dusty tannins give a supple feel to the structure, and balsamico acidity animates the profile through the long, lightly chewy finish. Cannonau, Carignano, Bovale and Malvasia. Drink now through 2035. (AN)
