“The 2022 Parabellum Alluvio is cool-toned and lifted with a delicate bouquet of confectionary spice, dusty dried herbs, gravel dust and dried black cherries. It's silken and serene in feel with medium-weight textures. Polished red and black fruits meet a tactile staining of minerality that saturates toward the close. The 2022 leaves a web of edgy tannins, fnishing remarkably fresh and gently structured as hints of clove and cocoa fade slowly. For a second wine, this is second to none.” - Vinnous, 92 pts
