Tasting notes
The 2014 Ilatraia is a real surprise. Powerful, dense and explosive, it packs a serious punch. Black plum, chocolate, smoke and leather notes give the wine much of its bold, resonant personality. The tannins could use a bit more time to soften, but all things considered, the 2014 is very nicely balanced. I imagine that it will always be a bit virile in personality.

The 2014 Ilatraia is a terrific wine that represents a blend of 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Petit Verdot and 20% Cabernet Franc. This is a darkly saturated and rich Tuscan blend that delivers so much pleasure on all levels. There is softness, intensity, complexity and length. This is a stunning wine with excellent engineering and execution. This is definitely a wine I will remember.
