This is a plump and generous wine that shows the exuberance, softness and richness of the vintage. The 2015 Bolgheri Superiore is teeming with dark fruit aromas that segue to spice, leather and cured tobacco. You get a pretty touch of balsamic herb as well with overtones of Mediterranean rosemary or garden herb. Castello di Bolgheri gets better and better each time I come back to taste a new vintage of this top-shelf wine. The blend in 2015 is 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Franc. Some 30,000 bottles were made.

Very tightly wound, with a dense bed of tannins providing support for the black currant, black cherry, wild herb, mineral and earth flavors. Ripe yet lively, showing fine intensity on the fruit-, mineral- and tar-filled aftertaste. Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Merlot. Best from 2022 through 2040. 2,500 cases made, 500 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Bolgheri Select to Add
