Il Blu 2009
- 92 points -
Full, rich and round, offering a mix of blackberry, plum, smoke, spice and tobacco aromas and flavors. Powerful yet well-proportioned, with a lingering aftertaste of spice and smoldering dark fruit. Sangiovese, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. Best from 2014 through 2023. — B.S.
