Score: 91Vintage 2015Vinous MediaThe 2015 Cesanese San Magno pulls you close to the glass with its beguiling bouquet of crushed blackberries and plums complemented by violet florals, lavender and wet stone. Here I’m finding the silkiest of textures, along with a polished display of ripe red and black fruits, and sweet tannins that slowly build toward the close. Nothing seems out of place as the 2015 tapers off harmonious and lightly structured, leaving savory herbs and spices to mingle through the finale.Shelf TalkerFull Page Review
