Score 96/100 · Drink 2022-2038, Monica Larner, Wine Advocate, Dec 2022
This is the standout vintage in this mini vertical. The 2016 Il Borro is etched, sharp and shows unique intensity. This blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah delivers its aromas in a lifted or vertical manner with dark fruit, Asian fruit, curry leaf and sweet gardening soil. Like the successful 2018 vintage, this sample from 2016 offers a complete vision of the Il Borro philosophy.

A layered and intense red with berry, green-olive, chocolate and cedar aromas and flavors. Full-bodied, yet linear and focused with lovely lines of ripe and firm tannins, running through the center palate. Bright acidity. From organically grown grapes and organic winemaking. Drink now, but better after 2020.
