Crafted from carefully selected old-vine parcels across six Tuscan vineyards, it combines traditional winemaking with a distinctive contemporary style. Aromas of wild strawberries, cherries, violets and candied orange peel lead into a beautifully textured palate, where generous red fruit meets vibrant acidity, silky tannins and subtle earthy nuances. Refined yet characterful, it finishes with impressive freshness, complexity and length.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDecanter \u003cspan class=\"selectable-text copyable-text\"\u003e|\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(158, 0, 57); text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eD 97\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003ePublished: Aug 1, 2023\u003cbr\u003eDrink: 2026-2045\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBeautifully fragrant on the nose, delicately scented and inviting with subtle wild flower scents, red and black berries and sweet spices. Chalky and powdery tannins support super bright acidity which gives this such a sharp, thrilling and lively expression. Tannins are super fine but have a spiced edge that grips and holds interest, supportive but not overpowering, letting the acidity and bright fruit flavours shine through. Beautifully delineated and expressed, elegant, refined, totally beguiling yet with layers of flavour and intensity and such a long finish. Feels supremely drinkable and that is such a feat at this young stage. Well worked, balanced, and enjoyable with flashes of heat and spice dotting the finish. Really wonderful and totally charming.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Wine Advocate \u003cspan class=\"selectable-text copyable-text\"\u003e|\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(158, 0, 57); text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eRP 95\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003ePublished: Oct 30, 2025\u003cbr\u003eDrink: 2024-2042\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFrom a vintage I really love comes the Bibi Graetz 2021 Testamatta. This wine has dark fruit, cherry, powdered chocolate and chalky mineral. This vintage represents a turning point for this eccentric vintner who decided to change styles and focus on the red fruits and high notes. Nonetheless, this wine delivers good freshness and balance, and I like it better than the 2020 vintage that Bibi himself prefers. To me, the 2021 has more vertical freshness. This is a release of 120,000 bottles.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWine Enthusiast \u003cspan class=\"selectable-text copyable-text\"\u003e|\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(158, 0, 57); text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eWE 95\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003ePublished: Jan 4, 2024\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe nose starts light and sweet, with aromas of vanilla and cedar, before getting richer with notes of cherries and candied orange.
