Heiner Lobenberg om:
Siepi 2021

98–99
/100

En cru, der består af lige dele Merlot og Sangiovese. De seks hektar, hvor Siepi vokser, er blandt de bedste steder i Fonterutoli. En næsten overvældende kraft strømmer ud af glasset, frodig, sød og tæt. Mørke skovbær og mørke kirsebær, blomme, let krydret cassis-smag nedenunder. Også søde krydderier, nellike, vanilje, plus frisk omrørt jord og grafit. Den mørke mineralitet understreger den mørke frugt perfekt, alt er sømløst sammenvævet. Men sødmen fra den tætte frugt sejrer i sidste ende. Sikke en forførende parfume. Den er også fyldig og rig i munden, utrolig fløjlsagtig og blød. Hele munden er fyldt med søde blåbær, brombær og cassis. Men den er ikke bare sød og charmerende, den er også hurtig, kraftfuld og gribende i sin mineralitet, som er mærkbar i hele den lange eftersmag. En imponerende vin på mange niveauer med endeløst tryk og kraft, men også med finesse, race og gribende mineralitet. Alt er indrammet af perfekt modne, lækre bløde tanniner, der overtager alt og alligevel forbliver diskrete og behagelige. Pomerol og Californien sender deres hilsener. Der ligger en vidunderlig harmonisk helhedspakke i denne kraftfulde vin, som smager forbløffende godt, selv når den er ung. Siepi har med rette været et af Toscanas højdepunkter i mange år! 98-99/100

Suckling om: Siepi

An opulent yet tensioned young red with blackberries, violets and black olive skin character. Full-bodied. But has so much energy and focus. Goes on for minutes. A blend of merlot and sangiovese. Best after 2028. 98/100

Decanter om: Siepi

Intense blackcurrant on the nose, baked and ripe, so expressive and inviting with small hints of liquorice and tar. Supple, generous, juicy and bright, this 50/50 Sangiovese-Merlot is so well worked and harmonious - rich, wide and full in the mouth, it courses with life and energy and such underlying power. You can feel the intensity and sculpting on show, this is no wall flower of a wine but it's presented so neatly and beautifully. I love the tannins, massy but controlled and perfectly countering the fresh and ripe red and black fruit with black pepper, tar, tobacco and bitter orange as well as soft floral edges. The brightness superbly matches the depth and complexity delivering a nuanced glass of wine with so much to say. I love the tannins and the sense of direction and confidence. Still in it's brooding, show-off, youthful phase with plenty of heat and spice, but this is a beauty. From the six-hectare estate owned by the Mazzei family since 1435. 97/100

Galloni om: Siepi

The 2021 Siepi is impressive. Blue/purplish fruit, lavender, spice, menthol and mocha are nicely dialed up. This plush, succulent Sangiovese/Merlot blend is quite the charmer, as it so often is. The 2021 is exceptionally elegant and polished, certainly one of the best editions in recent memory. All that said, my view is that Siepi would benefit from longer aging in wood and or glass, as it is released too early for a wine of its stature and potential. 96+/100

Parker om: Siepi

This top-shelf wine from Mazzei is a blend of 50-50 Merlot and Sangiovese. The Sangiovese goes into tonneaux and the Merlot ages in 70% new barrique for 18 months. The 2021 Siepi (in a heavy glass bottle) opens to sweet fruit nuances of cooked cherry, blackberry preserves, cinnamon and nutmeg. This full-bodied wine is supple and very soft in terms of mouthfeel, and its flavor profile is expansive and all-encompassing. This wine is balanced and seamless, and the 2021 vintage is certainly one of the best editions of Siepi we've seen so far. This exciting 30,000-bottle production will go to market in September 2023. 96+/100

Jane Anson om: Siepi

Immediately arresting, in that gorgeous Siepi way where the aromatics hug you and draw you straight into the glass. Love the dark pepper spices, well balanced by tobacco, rose petals, raspberry and greengage plum, sweet spices and fresh orange-peel acidities. Beautiful vintage of this wine, totally moreish and great quality. 70% new oak in barrels of various sizes, 225l for the Merlot and larger oak casks for the Sangiovese. Plenty of room for ageing this. Mazzei family, 6ha estate. 96/100

Fonterutoli-Mazzei er en af de vigtigste vingårde i Toscana. Familiens vindynasti ejer 650 hektar jord. Heraf er 110 hektar beplantet med vinstokke. På trods af alle familievirksomhedens traditioner er der ingen stilstand, men konstant forbedring både i vinmarkerne og i den nye, ultramoderne kælder....
