Lot #641. Tenuta di Petrolo Boggina C 2018

Description: Consists of 4 Bottles, 0.75L
Score: 96 AG.
"The 2018 Bòggina C (Bòggina Classico) is another superb wine from Petrolo. Here, Sangiovese is aged in oak, which gives the wine more mid-palate depth and broader shoulders, which, frankly, the wine seems to benefit from. Dark cherry, licorice, leather, spice and menthol build as the 2018 shows everything its got. Impressive. These may very well be the finest wines I have ever tasted from Luca Sanjust at Petrolo. From top to bottom, the range is so impressive. Specifically, the two versions of the Bòggina, the estate's 100% Sangiovese, have never been more precise. I loved them both. The flagship Merlot Galatrona is once again terrific. I found the Cabernet Sauvignon a bit vegetal for my taste, but that is a pretty small quibble at this level."
