Mater Matuta Lazio Rosso Casale del Giglio 2018 (750ML)

94+ Points, Eric Guido, Vinous: "The 2018 Rosso Mater Matuta has an earthy bouquet of flowery underbrush, gravel dust, lavender and crushed blackberries. Cool-toned acidity and pure wild berry fruits flow across rounded, silky textures. Tension builds throughout as saline minerals mix with sour citrus toward the close. Youthfully poised with fine tannins, the 2018 tapers off with excellent length. This vintage of Mater Matuta is quite Northern-Rhône-like in character." 06/26

92 Points, Zekun Shuai, JamesSuckling.com: "Glossy ripeness with sweet blackberries, blueberries, dark sweet spices and mocha chocolate. Rich and pretty concentrated on the full-bodied palate with ripe but juicy blackberries. Tannins are fine-grained and well-represented. Syrah and petit verdot. Drink or hold." 09/23
