The Fèlsina 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon Maestro Raro shows ample depth with black fruit and a minty or balsamic note at the back. There is power here, but the wine never feels heavy. In fact, it is quite graceful and on the leaner side, especially considering the hot growing season. Blackcurrant, cranberry, sour orange, pencil shaving and black pepper emerge from the bouquet. Maestro Raro shows lots of high notes and few baritone ones. This wine works for me.

The 2020 Maestro Raro (Cabernet Sauvignon) is terrific. As always, Maestro Raro marries the natural intensity of this site with a strong varietal character, resulting in a wine of unusual complexity as well as pedigree. Dried herbs, leather, tobacco, woodsmoke and licorice fill out the layers, with firm imposing tannins that wrap it all together in style.

Unblushingly fresh nose with its spicy, peppery berries, olives and a savory twist of iron and metals. Full-bodied and fluid on the palate but it is also quite dialled back. Succulent, stripped down and vertically structured with fine austere tannins and a chalky finish. Lots of character here. Drink or hold.
