Sette Ponti Oreno Toscana 2016 3L

99 points/'Top 100 Italian Wine of 2018 (#5),' James Suckling: "Gorgeous floral and deep, dark berry aromas with hints of spices such as cinnamon and hazelnuts. Full body and ultra-fine and strong tannins that are powerful yet so sleek and beautiful. Fantastic length and texture. Deep, dark and profound. Takes you on a long journey and shows you its true character. Better in 2025. Give it time. (5/22/18)"

99 points Falstaff: "Dark, intense ruby and light garnet shimmer. Very precisely defined nose, shows lots of dark, juicy currants, with some tar and cardamom notes in the background. Develops magnificently on the palate, blossoms, lots of fine, compact tannins, salty, long and complex, the wine of the evening! (1/1/21)"

Three Glasses, Gambero Rosso: "All the vineyards at Setteponti are under organic management. Their 2016 Oreno, a blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot, takes home Tre Bicchieri. On the nose it offers up tertiary overtones of chocolate and coffee accompanied by green sensations of peppers and spicy notes. On the palate, it proves generous, soft, full-bodied, with a subtle tannic weave and a relaxed finish. (2019)"
