95 puncte Robert Parker, 94 puncte James Suckling
Asamblaj de Cabernet Sauvignon - 80% si Cabernet Franc, 20%, cu o perioada de maturare in butoi de stejar de 18 luni, Ca’Marcanda 2018 este o creatie complexa cu structura tanica puternica si caracter mineral foarte expresiv. Aromele sunt impecabile si rafinate, cu tonuri aromatice de visine confiate, coacaze negre, coaja de portocala si condimente exotice, nuante care se succed si se completeaza reciproc. Senzatiile conferite de maturarea in butoi de stejar sunt foarte bine integrate, fiind transpuse in note de ciocolata si tabac, tonuri care completeaza portretul acestui super toscan unic. Postgustul se desfasoara in linia clasicului, bogat si voluptos, cu senzatii explozive, perfect dozate.

Very typical for the region of Bolgheri, showing fresh and dried herbs, from sage to mint, with currants and dark berries. It’s medium-to full-bodied with very fine tannins and very attractive length and energy. Very drinkable now, but better in 2023.

The Ca' Marcanda estate does not make a Bolgheri Superiore, although this bottle would qualify as such. The 2018 Bolgheri Rosso Camarcanda is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, and you definitely feel those full-throttle varietal aromas with big intensity and clarity. Spicy greenness comes forward as grilled rosemary and lavender essence, but the wine boasts nice depth and dimension, and enough textual richness to smooth it all out. This was a slightly cooler vintage with some sporadic rain showers throughout the summer. These conditions might explain the sharper side of those Cabernet aromas. As the wine moves over the palate, it reveals more substantial aromas of black fruit, spice and baker's chocolate. This vintage is slightly thinner than the hot 2017 expression before it and the classic 2016. However, this wine should certainly play forward positively in terms of its aging potential.
