Tua Rita Giusto Di Notri 2015 (1.5L)

96 WA / 96-97 JS / 93 VM / 93 DE / 17 JR

Here is a high performance wine from Stefano Frascolla and his family. The 2015 Giusto di Notri is mostly Cabernet Sauvignon with smaller parts Cabernet Franc and Merlot. The wine is contemporary, complex and gorgeous from tip to toe. You get a lot of power here and generous oak-driven tones of sweet espresso, chocolate and spice that surround a succulent core of dark fruit and candied cherry. All these elements appear even bigger and bolder in this warm vintage. - Monica Larner, Wine Advocate

Best Giusto di Notri ever? Full body, ripe and powerful tannins, as well as beautiful fruit. Chewy yet polished tannins and a lingering finish. - James Suckling

Black cherry, creme de cassis, smoke, plum, new leather, spice, French oak and dark spice notes infuse the 2015 Giusto di Notri. Plush, succulent and totally flamboyant, the Giusto di Notri is another wine that captures the natural exuberance of Suvereto. All the elements simply fall into place. Readers should expect a rich, bold Tuscan red. - Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media

This powerfully oaky, succulent wine has a super-smooth texture. It's rich and round with lots of vanilla, cream and exotic spice notes, and it's packed with deep, dark fruit. A suggestion of crunchy blackberries and firm tannins reminds us that this is a mainly Cabernet Sauvignon blend in a hot vintage (with typically 35% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc). Like some of the other Tua Rita wines, the Giusto di Notri offers a more affordable way to experience the top wines of this iconic producer.- Susan Hulme, Decanter

Concentrated and deep cherry nose and succulent and tangy, dense fruit on the palate with chewy tannins on the finish. Has class, but is not in a desperate need of more bottle age. - Jancis Robinson
