This is a dazzling effort

This is a superb Right Bank with class and pedigree

Castello del Terriccio, Lupicaia other_regions This is a dazzling effortThe balsamic notes are really starting to open up here in the 2009 Lupicaia. This wine has begun to come of age. This was a slightly cooler growing season, and this wine shows little of the ripe, fruit forwardness that marked many of the following vintages. There is a velvety side to this Lupicaia, with more textural looseness and openness in general.
