About the Il Borro Alessandro dal Borro Syrah 2018 1.5L Magnum
This remarkably sophisticated, monumental, and beautifully majestic organic Italian red wine stands as the absolute pinnacle flagship of the estate's old-vine viticulture. It opens with an authoritative, highly complex bouquet of ripe black currants, wild blackberries, and dark marasca cherries, masterfully woven with sophisticated notes of cracked black pepper, graphite, exotic balsamic herbs, dark cocoa powder, and sweet pipe tobacco. On the medium-to-full-bodied palate, it showcases an impeccable vertical architecture, driving an incredibly concentrated, fruit-pure core of dark stone fruits with an energetic, mountain-fresh regional acidity. A firm, seamlessly integrated line of chalky, tightly wound tannins anchors the beautifully textured mid-palate, carrying into an extraordinarily long, bone-dry, and deeply savory finish marked by a clean mineral resonance.
Food Pairing: An aristocratic partner for fine gastronomy; pairs flawlessly with thick-cut Bistecca alla Fiorentina, roasted wild boar ragù, slow-braised venison shanks, or well-matured artisanal pecorino cheeses.
98 Points - James Suckling
This is very classy and complex with lots of syrah character of berries, grilled meat, flowers and dried soil. Medium-bodied with fantastic depth and length and beautifully fine tannins. 2,245 magnums made. From organically grown grapes. So drinkable now, but will age beautifully.
92 Points - Wine Spectator
Pure and saturated with blackberry, black currant, violet and a hint of vanilla, this red is both plush and dense simultaneously. Just when this begins to feel soft, the acidity and light-grained tannins kick in on the finish. Drink now through 2030. 116 cases made, 50 cases imported.
