A beautifully soft and balanced red with berry, chocolate and vanilla. Full body, round tannins and a juicy finish. A rich and gorgeous wine. Drink or hold. Made from organic grapes.

James Suckling awards this wine an excellent score of 95, describing it as "a beautifully soft and balanced red with berry, chocolate, and vanilla." He praises its full body, round tannins, and juicy finish, concluding that it is "a rich and gorgeous wine." Suckling also notes that the wine is made from organic grapes, making it a commendable choice for those mindful of sustainable practices (jamessuckling.com, 8/28/2017).

Antonio Galloni from Vinous also gives the 2014 Tenuta degli Dei a stellar 95 points. He highlights its aromatic expressiveness and inviting nature, asserting that it is "one of the best recent vintages of this wine I can remember tasting." Galloni appreciates its natural richness typical of Panzano but suggests that the new oak could settle down a bit more, which would further enhance its overall profile. He concludes that the wine is "very nicely done" (Vinous, 1/1/2018).

Wine Spectator provides a slightly lower but still impressive score of 92. The review notes that the wine is aged in oak for 18 months and describes it as a "darkly extracted and contemporary wine that delivers ample muscle and power despite the cooler and rainy growing season." The wine reveals a deep ruby color with purplish highlights, and the fruit is immediate and intense, featuring cherry liqueur and blackberry preserves. The review also points out that this vintage has a raw and fresh personality compared to warmer vintages (Wine Spectator, 2/28/2018).

Overall, the 2014 Tenuta degli Dei Cavalli is a highly regarded wine that stands out for its balanced complexity, aromatic richness, and fresh personality. Its high ratings from reputable reviewers underscore its quality and potential for both immediate enjoyment and further aging.
