Le Pupille’s 2003 Saffredi (50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Merlot and 15% Alicante) is simply gorgeous. Fat, opulent and open, it presents generous notes of super-ripe fruit, toasted oak and minerals with outstanding length as well as balance. Highly appealing even now, it will deliver much pleasure for next five to seven years, perhaps longer. Anticipated maturity: 2007-2015.
