Cabernet Sauvignon Collezione Privata 2015 Isole e Olena

Professional reviews

Robert Parker (95)

The 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon Collezione Privata opens to an enriched appearance with round fruit and loads of deep intensity. What is remarkable about this Tuscan Cabernet Sauvignon (blended with very small parts of Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Petit Verdot) is that it shows none of the greenness or tightness often associated with the grape. This warm and sunny vintage has ironed out any wrinkles and contributes to the loose, rich fabric of the wine. This wine shows lushness and balanced integration. It's a lovely expression whose berry and forest endnotes make it perfect for a rosemary and garlic roasted lamb. Only 6,000 bottles were made.

James Suckling (96)

Pure blackcurrants are the first thing that come to mind, before this moves confidently through Thai basil, crushed stones, eucalyptus, rosemary, tar and black tea. Full-bodied and very powerful indeed with robust but structured tannins. Nevertheless, there’s a sense of purity and wonder to this. Best ever?
