Scrio - a great Tuscan Syrah from Le Macchiole - is a real beauty. The persistent bouquet offers aromas of dark berries and cured meat, warm and balsamic on the palate with great intensity and dynamism, rich in extract and long. SUPERIORE.DE

"A Syrah parcel planted in the Alberello vineyard. Deep with lots of Syrah spice, blackcurrant bush and dark, spiced chocolate, delicately gelled red and black fruits, liquorice and blueberries. Polished and precisely structured in the mouth, super juicy with rather red fruits, delicate creaminess, good freshness and with grippy, fine-meshed tannins, spicy and noble." Weinwisser

"Sparkling ruby colour with a slight violet hue. Fragrant nose with notes of violets and black cherries, underpinned by subtle spicy components, lots of cardamom. Lots of fresh fruit on the palate up front, then opens up with grippy, but somewhat large tannins at the core." Falstaff

"Plenty of flowers and fresh fruit such as blackberries and raspberries. A hint of cloves and nutmeg. Medium to full-bodied, with ultra-fine tannins and a crisp and crunchy finish. A little tight on the finish, suggesting that it still has three to four years to mature in the bottle." James Suckling

"A lean, elegant red wine with aromas and flavours of violets, blueberries, boysenberries, earth and spices. Dense yet fluid, with fine-grained tannins and a well-defined fruit bundle that lingers on the finish. Shows excellent finesse and balance." Wine Spectator

"The nose is smooth and dark like a well-tailored suit, while the salty chewiness of black olives waltzes with the acidity of blackberries and blueberries and a firework of black pepper shoots into the night sky. The olives and dark fruits continue to dance on the palate until the song ends with a crescendo of spicy dark chocolate. The elegant tannins watch you from the other side of the ballroom, while the acidity simmers unobtrusively but unforgettably on the balcony." Wine Enthusiast

"The Scrio 2020 is a beautiful wine. At this stage, the Scrio is quite closed, but that's probably a very good thing for its long-term ageing prospects. With time in the glass, notes of white pepper, smoke, dried flowers, mint and chalk emerge, adding brightness to a core of sweet red and blood orange fruit. This is the first vintage in which the vineyard site in the hills of Bolgheri has changed significantly." Vinous

"The 2020 Scrio is a beautiful Syrah from Tuscany that shows impeccable elegance with a very long and straightforward style that is reflected on the nose and palate. I love the precision of this wine. The famous Rhône grape has found a very happy home in this part of the Tuscan coast. The team at Le Macchiole is particularly talented at emphasising the nuances of the grape variety: dark fruits, baking chocolate, spices, charred meat, white pepper and pencil shavings." Wine Advocate
