TENUTA SETTE PONTI |
| As a long-time Oreno fan I have tasted/reviewed all but the 2015 in the past 24 Vintage releases. The 2022 is lighter and a tad less impressive than the richer 2021 at 95+ points. It dropped to still-decent 93-points but would not be my choice to lay-away. The alcohol was down from 15% to 14.5% and most important the grape composition has changed from 50% Merlot (now 45%), 40% Cabernet Sauvignon (same) and 10% Petit Verdot (now 5%) plus a new 10% Cabernet Franc. It has a medium-deep purple-ruby colour with an intense, gently cedary, bright, ripe, plum-cherry-cassis nose. Dry, medium-plus bodied, nicely textured, slightly spicy, fairly intense, bright, plum-cherry-cassis flavours with a lingering gently complex finish. The lot number L010224/1 appears on the back label. It seems quite ready to drink. |

| TASTING NOTE: There's a purity and beauty to this that impresses you the minute you put your nose in the glass. So aromatic. Flowers, graphite, blackcurrants and hints of gunmetal. Medium- to full-bodied with tannins that coat your mouth but give a feeling of fine cashmere. The length and intensity is calm but rather endless. 45% merlot, 40% cabernet sauvignon,10% cabernet franc and 5% petit verdot. From or ganically grown grapes. Best after 2028.
