Tenuta di Biserno Il Pino di Biserno 2018 (750ML)

95 JS / 95 WE / 93 WA

Blackberries, blueberries, dried raspberries, cedar, clove and vanilla bean on the nose. It’s medium-to full-bodied with firm, silky tannins and juicy layers of ripe fruit. Cocoa and dried herbs, too. -James Suckling

Made with Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot, this has intense aromas of cassis, camphor, leather and dark spice. It's smooth and savory, doling out ripe blackberry, juicy black currant, licorice and tobacco accompanied by polished tannins. Kerin O’Keefe—Wine Enthusiast

The Tenuta di Biserno 2018 Il Pino di Biserno is Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc from the sun-kissed coast of Tuscany. This is a velvety and nicely extracted expression that delivers textbook aromas of dark fruit, dried blackberry, spice, leather, tar and tobacco. Comparatively speaking, this vintage is leaner compared to past editions. The wine is not quite full-bodied, but almost, and it offers the textural emphasis and power to pair with a filet mignon, cooked rare and seared briefly on either side over an open fire.—Monca Larner, The Wine Advocate
