Donati Ezio Cabernet '21

A single-vineyard tribute to patriarch Ezio Donati, this Cabernet reveals midnight purple hues and an aristocratic nose of blackberry liqueur, pencil shavings, and crushed mint. The palate astonishes with its vertical structure - cassis, bitter chocolate, and iron filings cascade across mineral-laced tannins that earned 95 points. Meticulous green harvests and 22 months in new French oak yield extraordinary concentration at 15% alcohol. The minute-long finish shows lavender and star anise. Serve with wood-grilled porterhouse or wild boar ragu after 2026 when secondary complexities blossom.
