(2016 Vintage)

What a beautiful nose of elderberries, freshly picked blackcurrants, citrus, herbs, licorice and crushed stones, amidst a backdrop of coffee beans, cedar and vanilla. Full-bodied and very subtle and refined with tightly wound tannins and an impressive balance of fruit and acidity. Long, grainy and elegant on the finish. A masterpiece.

This was an iconic vintage, and the superiority of the 2016 growing season, with lots of sunshine and cool summer nights, shows. A blend of equal parts Merlot and Sangiovese, the Mazzei 2016 Siepi is profound, vibrant, nuanced and lifted. The Merlot plays an important role in grounding the wine, adding both texture and volume. However, the Sangiovese is almost more important in my opinion, especially in this sample. The bouquet is fresh and lively with plenty of wild cherry, rose, crushed stone, lilac and lavender. One of the big changes made in 2016 is the introduction of a four-month finishing period in concrete tanks. This wine is showing beautifully now, but it has many more years to give. Production was 35,000 bottles.

The 2016 Siepi, the estate's Sangiovese/Merlot blend, is a big, rich wine. In 2016, the Merlot is especially prominent. Black cherry jam, torrefaction, spice, leather, menthol and new French oak are all pushed forward. Time in the glass brings out a good bit of aromatic freshness to balance things out. Readers should expect a potent, seriously concentrated wine.

You might remember the fanfare surroundingthe 1997 vintage when it hit the market more than two decades ago. It marked anew chapter for Tuscan wines that prized a concentrated, soft, velvety andthickly extracted style that would be very much in vogue for the followingyears. Unabashed and confident, the Mazzei 1997 Siepi transports us back intime to a warm, sun-drenched growing season. You feel the heat in this wine'sDNA with strawberry preserves, marasca cherry and dried prune. The wine isendowed with big structure and volume, as expected. The Siepi vineyard enjoysdeep soils, allowing the roots to penetrate far underground and find moisturein the dry season. The soils have a big component of clay that also lock inhumidity, and the area is surrounded by green forests that cool down the nearbyenvironment. Best After 2022
