Notes from critics
Another gem of a Super Tuscan from Castello di Ama, this offering delivers a concentrated profile of wild berries, cassis, and savory spice, backed by polished tannins and a persistent, mineral-driven finish. It is a structured, age-worthy wine that reflects the high-altitude terroir of the Montebuoni vineyard. Amazing!
95
The 2021 Haiku is another powerhouse wine in this range from Castello di Ama. Rich, sumptuous and layered, the 2021 is beautifully persistent. Dark red/purplish fruit, pomegranate and rose petal open first, framed by clean mineral notes that lend palpable vibrancy. The long, sustained finish is a thing of beauty. Like all these wines, it needs considerable time.
95
Blackberries, black cherries and graphite on the nose. It’s full-bodied with very polished and lightly chewy tannins and a tangy finish. Minerally and citrusy at the end. Solid wine that needs two or three years of bottle age to soften.
