Greco di Tufo Riserva Stilema Mastroberardino 2019 (750ML)

94 Points, James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com: "A complex and savory wine with aromas of ferns, seaweed, peat, Mirabelle plums and a touch of citrus. Nervy on the palate with a light to medium body, it shows zesty acidity, supple fruit flavors and a smoky citrus finish. Juicy. Sustainable. Drink or hold." 05/24

93 Points, Alison Napjus, Wine Spectator: "A vivid, mineral-driven white, with smoke, stone and petrol notes underscoring a lovely range of baked pineapple, tangerine peel, crushed rosemary and creamed almond flavors. This is fluid and integrated, but with a statuesque feel as well-honed acidity firms the lightly chalky finish. Drink now through 2034. 542 cases made, 300 cases imported." 05/25

95 Points, Danielle Callegari, Wine Enthusiast: "The nose is a teenager's exhilaration on a summer night out, as the innocent aromas of vanilla, lemon and toasted nuts are left behind in favor of cigarette smoke, leather jackets and hot pavement. On the palate, however, childhood refuses to be left behind entirely, as afternoon snacks of apples and almonds lead into a finish that's deep and toasty, like the feeling of falling asleep in the car and knowing your parents will carry you in. At first blush, could pass for Burgundy..." 03/24

94 Points, Eric Guido, Vinous: "Distinctly savory, the 2019 Greco di Tufo Riserva Stilema tempts the imagination with a bouquet of yellow apples, gingery spice and crushed oyster shells. Soft and enveloping, this washes across the palate with a mineral-intense wave of orchard fruits and sour citrus tones. It leaves a salty flourish to linger on, finishing long, staining and youthfully tense. This is flat-out stunning, yet it’s still just an infant. What a beauty. (Drink between 2025-2032)" 05/24

93 Points, Monica Larner, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "Already showing extra definition and complexity that comes with bottle age, the Mastroberardino 2019 Greco di Tufo Riserva Stiléma delivers dusty flint and crushed chalk on first nose. The wine's slightly reduced personality sets the stage for a slow aromatic evolution in the glass that gives the bouquet a fluid, slow-changing feel. There is citrus, passion fruit and a dry note of lemon thyme or oregano. But those flinty mineral notes are dominant in this 6,700-bottle release." 11/23
