CRITIC REVIEWS
Jancis Robinson
Very bright dark crimson but a slightly less intense colour than the older vintages. Sweet and perhaps the least Tuscan in style. Very well-managed tannins and well integrated. Dry but not drying. Very appetising, but it needs a bit more time ideally.

Both the bud burst and flowering were early as compared with the preceding year. The summer season initially saw an important rise in temperature, which was then rebalanced during the second half of the month of August. The harvest took place during the final ten days of September, relatively early. A warm powerful vintage without the dryness of 2012 and with great potential. Matarocchio is crimson and super-restrained with straw, clove and oaky aromas on the nose, well balanced with fresh leather, fine herbal aromas, bramble fruit and savoury character in depth. It shows an austere palate; full, firm and chalky yet ripe, however it flows with the grace of the best Cabernet Franc.
