"Smooth and decidedly linear and juicy in the primary matrix showing notes of cherries, cassis, lemon blossom, lime peel and white almonds. Medium bodied, extremely elegant fine grain tannins, admirably polymerized and a finale of incredible drinkability and juiciness. Splendid now but better 2023."

"Slightly timid on the nose but slowly, over time, the scents of cherries, peach flowers, lemon rind and lime emerge. Medium bodied, soft and lightly pronounced tannins and a finale of good drinkability, thin but composed. Drink now."

"Centred and radiant in the glass offering a profile hard to scratch with intense notes of black prunes, wild blackberries, black cherries, fondant chocolate, camphor and orange rind. A lot of pink grapefruit juice, juniper berries, cumin and leather dominate the secondary scene. Full bodied, sofy, velvety tannins perfectly smoothed over time and a finale that in a biting manner closes true and slightly rustic leaving the beautiful all Italian blend of Sangiovese, Colorino and Black Malvasia in the imagination for ever. Drink now or hold."

"Balsamic aromas of camphor mingle with French oak, coconut and purple flowers. Medium-bodied and assertive, the linear palate offers dried cherry, prune, vanilla and roasted coffee bean framed in close-grained tannins that grip the close. Kerin O'Keefe"

"Von den Rebbergen um das Castello in 470 Metern: Kirschduftig, ein Hauch Pfeffer, auch Kräuternoten zeichnen diesen Wein aus; im Mund robust, die Tannine gut eingebunden, lebendige Säure, das Finale harmonisch und ausgewogen. Zu einem Rinderbraten mit Pfifferlingen."

"Aromas of roasted coffee bean, toast, oak-driven spice, ripe berry and scorched earth lead the nose. The firm palate offers black cherry extract, espresso, licorice, oak and coconut alongside assertive, grippy tannins. Still oak driven and tightly tannic, give this a few years to fully develop but then drink to capture the remaining fruit richness. Drink 2017-2021."
