Sweet smoke gives way to violet and lavender tones as the 2022 Frappato Mazal slowly opens in the glass. The palate is silky smooth, with ripe red and blue fruits riding a wave of brisk acidity. Gently tannic and full of youthful tension, it finishes with a tart concentration of blackberry and spice. Drinking window: 2025-2028. Score - 89.
