Score: 91Vintage 2021Vinous MediaThe 2021 Cabernet Sauvignon Oltresogno, 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, offers good energy and persistence. The mid-palate feels a bit lacking, though. Pure Cabernet Sauvignon is not easy on the Tuscan Coast. This needs more mid-palate and more varietal character. Perhaps that will come with future vintages. For now, the 2021 is on the leaner side of things.Shelf TalkerFull Page Review
Score: 90Vintage 2021Wine EnthusiastThe nose mixes baking aromas of vanilla, spices, berries and cherries with a lurking, sharp sanguinity. On the palate, that balance continues, with black cherries bringing the fruit and a woody earthiness providing balance. Structure comes from dense tannins and substantial acid.

Score: 89Vintage 2017Wine EnthusiastThis Cabernet Sauvignon opens with aromas of mature black plum, Mediterranean scrub and leather. The aromas follow through to the forward straightforward palate along with dried Marasca cherry and pliant tannins.Shelf TalkerFull Page Review
Score: 88Vintage 2017Wine AdvocateThe 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon from Campo alle Comete is drier and not as balanced as the 2016, which had nice earthy tones in its primary black fruit. The 2017 comes off as a bit grassy with some very green or herbal notes followed by rich thickness and heavy extraction.Shelf TalkerFull Page Review
Score: 90Vintage 2016Wine EnthusiastCedar, black currant and fragrant blue-flower aromas take center stage on this polished red. The elegantly structured palate presents dried Marasca cherry and licorice alongside fine-grained tannins. KERIN O’KEEFEShelf TalkerFull Page Review
