2015 Quintarelli Cabernet Alzero 
Vinous
95 Points
The 2015 Cabernet Alzero is loaded with varietal character, bursting from the glass with a dark blend of black fruits, savory herbs, pencil lead and crushed stone. This is velvety smooth, with juicy acidity to balance and a core of mineral-tinged red and blue fruits complimented by confectionary spice. It leaves the palate reeling with youthful tension as hints of blood orange swirl under an air of violet inner florals. Dusty tannins resonate throughout. The energy within the 2015 is off the charts and provides a perfect counterpoint to its internal intensity. Bury this one deep. 40% Cabernet Franc, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot. Drinking window: 2026-2040. Antonio Galloni Feb 2024
