(96 points) A blend of 100% Syrah aged 20 months in 75% new oak, the inky colored 2013 Scrio gives up a stunning bouquet of blackberries, smoked meats, graphite, and licorice. Deep, layered, gorgeously concentrated, ripe and sexy, yet with a core of ripe tannin and a great finish, it needs a year or two but will keep for another 10-15 years. This is another singular effort from Luca Rettondini that readers should do their best to taste.
