Score 94/100 · Drink 2024-2038, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Jan 2021
The 2018 Pinot Noir Calegari Vineyard is another fabulous wine in this range. Deep, powerful and implosive, the Calegari has tremendous energy lying in reserve. Readers will have to be patient, as the 2018 is going to need at least a few years to soften. I very much like the intensity here. Rose petal, mint and star anise develop with a bit of coaxing, but the 2018 demands patience.
