Bacco Estate Il Sovrano 2022
92 Points - James Suckling. Bacco Estate’s flagship red from Paarl is a Bordeaux-style blend with a touch of Italian charm from Sangiovese. Concentrated and layered, it balances structure with elegance, showing the estate’s quality and character at its finest.
Taste
A dark, plush core of black plum, cassis and mulberry opens with hints of graphite and gently integrated oak. On the palate the fruit is rich and layered, with fine tannins and juicy acidity giving structure and momentum. Notes of cherry, subtle cedar and cigar box thread through, leading to a long, poised finish that balances power with poise.
