The world-famous Caiarossa is an extremely exciting blend of the Syrah, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot, Sangiovese and Grenache varieties, with the rich, dark fruit flavours of the Cabernet grapes taking centre stage. On the nose, a beautiful first wave of dark fruits that never appear too ripe, which greatly benefits the elegance of the wine. The palate is very balanced and focussed with blackberries, cassis and slight hints of salty or rusty minerals. Caiarossa displays a good degree of elegance, not least due to its fine and taut tannins, and despite its density and complexity never comes across as opulent or even overloaded. SUPERIORE.DE

"Rich and dense on the nose with some tar, leather and tobacco, it has a very appealing, youthful nose. It is compact and unified with a fine, hypnotising sweetness and liqueur-like accents. Rich and creamy, very sweet, expansive and inspiringly fresh, it presents itself in the mouth and creates a terrific presence with enormous power. Extremely light and airy, the 2021 is a terrificCaiarossa with enormous strength of character and eternal length. The Cabernet dominates throughout, everything is very complexly interwoven and impenetrable. Grenache and Syrah emerge at the back. Somehow this seems like a Bolgheri core, interwoven with silky-sweet, Mediterranean notes. The best Caiarossa so far!" Weinwisser

"Bright, intense purple red colour. Finely drawn nose of violets, marzipan, liquorice, wild berry jam, with a hint of iodine and clove behind it, multi-layered. Velvety in texture, juicy and fruity-sweet on firm tannins, round and with gentle pressure, very persistent." Falstaff

"The Caiarossa 2021 is an elegant, refined red wine. The attack reveals crushed flowers, spices, blood orange and pomegranate. Supple and medium-bodied, with great energy, the 2021 has a lot to offer. Its energy and persistence are remarkable. Bright savoury notes support the lively finish." Vinous

"The medium saturated ruby red colour hints at an extremely distinctive bouquet, where nutmeg and spicy herbs combine with iron-rich blackcurrants, red roses, pine resin, liquorice and cocoa powder. Luscious blackcurrants take centre stage on the palate, while slightly tart tannins and a hint of bitter orange provide lift. Garrigue, cedar and salty minerals linger on the long and youthfully dusty finish." Decanter

"This dense and concentrated red is packed with blackcurrant, blackberry and plum fruit, while notes of iron, wild herbs and oak spice add further detail. Assertive tannins and lively acidity support it and give it an overall sense of balance. The dark fruit flavours have lovely depth and a great aftertaste that really lingers. Shows power and grace." Wine Spectator

"It shows a velvety and darkly concentrated appearance with beautiful richness and deep colour saturation. These results are balanced and bright in this glorious vintage, and I particularly like the wine's freshness, which seems to radiate from its core. The mouthfeel is streamlined rather than bulky, and this characteristic gives the wine a sense of enduring elegance." Wine Advocate

"Violet reflections in the glass. Aromas of cloves, abundant blackberries and dried eucalyptus. The attack is firm and dense, with a full body and velvety tannins of great extraction on the mid-palate and a refreshing natural acidity. Good integration of oak on the finish. It has potential for the long haul, but will be drinkable in one to two years." James Suckling
