Vinous (95)Inky ruby-purple. Huge but focused aromas of roasted sweet black fruits, caramel, cinnamon and mint. Round but rock-solid, almost chewy in its density, with the balancing acidity to maintain the freshness of its minty blackcurrant fruit. Extremely rich through to the very long finish. |

Vinous (96)The estate's 2008 Lupicaia was beautiful a year ago, and it is just as beautiful today. Over the last twelve months the tannins have begun to soften but the aromas remain quite primary. Mocha, espresso, menthol, tar, asphalt and licorice all flow through to the huge, layered finish. The 2008 is going to be a jewel of a wine. In 2008 the blend is 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot and 5% Petit Verdot. |

Vinous (95)Beautifully resonant in the glass, the 2009 Lupicaia is a standout. Sweet red cherries, flowers, mint, anise, savory herbs and spices all ring out in a supple, gracious wine loaded with class. The 2009 needs a few years for some of the contours to soften, but it is a gorgeous wine with tons of personality. This is a decidedly round, sexy Lupicaia that is going to offer plenty of enjoyment over the course of the next fifteen years or so. |

Wine Advocate (95)The 2010 Lupicaia is another fruit-forward vintage, showing great intensity and depth. What makes this wine unique is its streamlined and focused nature. Overall, it is a ripe, generous and very intense wine with rich flavors and concentration. The integrated tannins are dusty and fine. It would pair well with rich and gamey meats like liver, innards or venison. |

Vinous (94+)A bold, racy wine, the 2012 Lupicaia packs a serious punch. Succulent red cherry, plum, licorice, spice, leather, menthol and blood orange infuse this exotic, flamboyantly ripe wine. A host of expressive floral/savory notes give the 2012 its distinctive upper register. In 2012, Lupicaia is bright and also more understated than it can be. Time in the bottle tends to do wonders for this top-flight Tuscan red. The 2012 should be fabulous starting in another few years, give or take. |
