A Type-A wine if ever there was one. It's high-voltage Cabernet, with just a touch of Merlot, and it's layered with cassis, buttery oak, and some toast. The mouthfeel is full but elegant, with mint and clove nuances poking through to impact the bold currant-laden palate. A smooth, well-oaked, persistent finish is the encore. Can easily be aged for a decade. Score: 93 Wine Enthusiast, Wine Enthusiast 01 January 2002 |

A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, the 1998 Lupicaia reveals a dark, saturated ruby/purple color along with a sweet nose of black currants, espresso, and chocolate. Dense, rich, and muscular, it needs an additional 1-3 years of cellaring, and should drink well for 12-15 years. Score: 90 Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, RobertParker.com 30 October 2001 |

Impenetrable ruby-black. Splendid, harmonious aromas of cassis, vanilla and mocha. Rich, dense, velvety and caressing; flavors of blackcurrant and spice. Very concentrated but without the slightest hardness. Seamless, vigorous and unflagging. An elegant wine with great potential. Score: 93 Daniel Thomases, Vinous.com 01 July 2000 |
