Critic Scores

Jeb Dunnuck | 93

An opaque purple blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Syrah, the 2022 Il Bruciato is luxurious with notes of blackberry liqueur and some blue fruit coming through along with notes of violets, olive, and black licorice. Full-bodied, with a weightless and seamless feel, it has no harsh edges and offers ripe tannins with a supple texture, fresh acidity, and clean ripeness through a rather long finish. This gorgeous wine checks a lot of boxes and is drinking beautifully now. It offers a lot of finesse as well as a wide drinking window. Drink 2024-2040.

Decanter | 91

This blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah offers fresh aromas of dark berries and menthol, combined with ripe, opulent red and black fruits with floral overtones in the mouth. Sweet touches of vanilla and liquorice are followed by Mediterranean herbs and spice on a cool finish. Just lacking a bit of mid-palate punch.

Wine Enthusiast | 92

The nose is hot, sanguine and earthy, with prominent aromas of leather, espresso and berry compote, but a gentle whiff of vanilla for levity. The palate offers an intense warmth like a sunrise's first rays that illuminate flavors of soil, herbs, flowers and finally, ripe berries.
