There will be a 2016 and 2019

It still seems pretty brilliant

Castello del Terriccio, Tassinaia Size:6x750ml 141gm/L residual sugarThe 2015 Tassinaia is a blend of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, now with an element of Syrah. The wine is fermented partly in steel and partly in oak and brings a breeze of spice from the get go. This second level red from Castello del Terriccio offers plenty of rich, exuberant and succulent fruit. I imagine it will open nicely over the next few years. Tassinaia is a selection of fruit from different vineyard parcels.
