Monica Larner - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2016 Suvereto Montecristo is a luxuriously thick, classic blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot and 10% Petit Verdot that just breathes Coastal Tuscany, conjuring images of Mediterranean shrub and straight, cypress-lined roads leading to the sea. The area's clay soils give the wine extra succulence and softness, although as it turns out, they are not particularly well suited to Petit Verdot, so that portion has been reduced in this vintage. This is a soft and ripe red that would work great with a Tuscan white bean stew.

The 2016 Montecristo, 60% Merlot, 35% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Petit Verdot, is a dense, potent wine. Inky black fruit, chocolate, new oak and licorice all come through in this heady, flamboyant wine. The 2016 is not at all subtle, but it will please fans of the style.

A very spicy nose with lots of roasted rosemary, blackberries, sandalwood, cedar, thyme, pine cones and oyster shells. Full-bodied and intense on the palate with the wood certainly seeping through, but it also shows finesse and density. Drink from 2025.
