Wine Advocate Rating 94 Drink Date 2018 – 2030 Issue Date 1st Dec 2017 Source Interim End of November 2017, The Wine Advocate Here is another excellent wine from the folks at Montepeloso. Indeed, the top wines from this estate are all so equally delicious it is hard to tell them apart. The 2015 Gabbro is all Cabernet Sauvignon, and it stands apart from the other blended reds for this reason. This is an inky dark and impenetrable expression with savory aromas of dark fruit and spice. The wine plays its best cards in the mouth, thanks to the richness and endurance of its texture. Vinous : Rating : 95 Drinking Window: 2020-2030 Review Date: Apr-18 The 2015 Gabbro is deep and richly textured, and yet also remains light on its feet. Pliant and enveloping, the 2015 is super-refined. Blackberry jam, crème de cassis, mint, licorice and lavender infuse this nuanced, expressive Tuscan Cabernet Sauvignon. Stylistically, the 2015 is quite a bit different from the more bombastic wines that have been made here in the past. A bit light, but super-finessed. I can’t wait to see how it ages.
