- Score: 94 Vintage 2019 James Suckling The floral and currant aromas come through clearly, with hints of lavender and sage flowers. It’s medium-bodied with a firm and fresh vibe. Lightly chewy, with fine powdery tannins at the end. A blend of cabernet sauvignon and petit verdot. Drinkable now, but better in a year or two. Shelf Talker Full Page Review
- Score: 94 Vintage 2018 Wine Advocate Perhaps a little green in character, I very much like the austerity of this vintage. The Castello del Terriccio 2018 Lupicaia is a little stern, but it's also playful with rosemary essence, ferrous earth, rust, licorice, chamomile flower and sour plum. The fruit is quite detailed in 2018 compared to the monotone 2017 vintage that I also tasted at the same time. You also get that distinctive note of eucalyptus that is always present in this wine. The wine shows lift and tart flavors that intersect with firm tannins. The sun-shaped logo on the front label is an Etruscan symbol that was found on a stone that was later donated to a museum in the town of Volterra. The estate is selling this vintage, but it also has a wide array of back vintages in stock. Shelf Talker Full Page Review
