I love the cabernet sauvignon aromas of crushed currants and ink, with fresh dark mushrooms and rose bush. Full-bodied, extremely linear and racy with very fine and intense tannins and a long, focused finish. Spearmint and blackberry at the end. Only 7,000 bottles made. Terrific red. Best after 2025.

Here's an exciting new discovery from the Frescobaldi family and their Tenuta Luce estate. The packaging sports a rock 'n' roll label with golden sunbeams, or maybe it is stardust, etched across the entire front of the bottle. The Tenuta Luce 2018 Lux Vitis is saturated and bold with full-bodied intensity. This is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon with a small part of Sangiovese aged in 100% new French oak for 24 months. A core of dark cherry and blackberry is framed by sweet spice, bitter chocolate and campfire embers. Like the other wines in the Tenuta Luce portfolio, oak spice and tannins play an important role in the baseline style expressed here. Only 6,600 bottles were released.

This joint venture, between two of the leading figures in the wine world, Vittorio Frescobaldi and Robert Mondavi started in the early 1990s. The union was built out of their shared goal to offer the world a truly impassioned, unique wine from Montalcino – while encompassing both of their personal traditions. Following due course, twenty years ago, thanks to their sons and winemakers, Lamberto and Tim, their thrilling blend of Sangiovese and Merlot, Luce was born. Luce expresses with upmost quality, the power, innovation and concentration found at the backbone of this Montalcino winery. Tenuta Luce della Vite comprises of 192-hectares, with 77 devoted to vineyards. These plots producing their flagship, Luce, and more recently their second wine, Lucente. Five hectares of the vineyard are registered as Brunello di Montalcino DOCG and these are devoted to the creation of their territorial expressive Luce Brunello.
