A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot from the stunningly beautiful Castello di Nipozzano property just a short drive from Florence, the 2010 Mormo reto is a massive and impenetrable wine. [Dark] black/inky color characterizes its appearance and the wine peels back, layer after thick layer, to reveal prune, dark plum, bitter chocolate, toasted espresso, sweet spice and cinnamon. The plushness of the fruit and the richness of the texture are monumental. It's almost too much of a good thing. The flavors all seem bunched up in the realm of chocolate-covered coffee bean and candied cherry. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2025. Score - 91. (Monica Larner, erobertparker.com, Aug. 2013) Show more
