Complex aromas ranging from floral to wild berries with hints of spice. The palate is characterized by red cherries, earthy with a depth of complex savory acidity and soft tannins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProfessional Ratings\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e97Vinous\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 2020 Cepparello is a total stunner, just as it was last year. Deeply colored, layered and explosive in the glass, the 2020 possesses striking textural richness and overall intensity. Black cherry, graphite, plum, spice and lavender flesh out effortlessly. There's tremendous pedigree and sheer stature here. Cepparello is surely one of the wines of the year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e96Wine Spectator\u003cbr\u003eExpressive and sumptuous from the get-go, this red features cherry, strawberry, rose, orange peel, mineral and Tuscan herb aromas and flavors. Sangiovese. Best from 2025 through 2045.\u003cbr\u003e96Robert Parker's Wine Advocate\u003cbr\u003eSupple and smooth, the 2020 Cepparello brings Sangiovese to soaring heights in a manner only Paolo De Marchi can manage. This is his second to last vintage before he would retire and sell this historic estate. The wine opens to medium to full-bodied concentration with dark plum and redcurrant. Those cede to sweet spice, earth, crushed stone, rusty nail and candied orange peel. Give the wine more time to flesh out with cellar age. It registers a powerful 15% alcohol content.\u003cbr\u003e96James Suckling\u003cbr\u003eSmoky and austere wine with a restrained nose of dark cherries allied to assertive bergamot and slightly chocolatey depth. Full-bodied with a smooth attack, then dense and velvety with a vibrant and energetic palate. Juicy and toasty in the aftertaste. Drink or hold.\u003cbr\u003e95Wilfred Wong of Wine.com\u003cbr\u003eControlled power, the excellent 2020 Isole e Elena Cepparello elevated wine enjoyment to a new place. This wine offers a blend of red and black fruits, complemented by alluring oak and satisfying textures. Serve it with an English-style Prime Rib and don't forget the Yorkshire Pudding.
