"Intense garnet with youthful tints. Seductive nose of peony, blueberry and cherry. Fleshy, concentrated and velvety palate, fairly shy then flowing into a solid structure mid-palate and fairly austere finish. A promising wine. Patience is of the essence."

"This 2001 is excellent after 14 years in the bottle which demonstrates how the right choices were made, even if there are still some people who claim that Sangiovese should not be made using barriques. It has a nice, concentrated and deep ruby color which is a little less compact on the edge. The aroma is quite striking with its nice scents of red and dark fruits and its refreshing balsamic hint. The light note of sweet tobacco is the only concession to age along with that of orange. A smoky sensation ushers in a mouthfeel where the compact tannins are a true reference point and are nicely woven into the texture, allowing for an excellent progression and a finish of rare persistence and elegance. A true champion."

"Forest floor, toasted oak and camphor aromas mingle with dark spice on this 100% Sangiovese. Enveloping and elegantly structured, the savory palate delivers ripe black cherry, raspberry compote, mocha and licorice framed in fine-grained tannins. Fresh acidity keeps it balanced. Drink 2025-2030. Kerin O'Keefe"

"Leuchtendes Rubinrot. In der Nase leichte erdige Noten, nach roter Bete , nach etwas Zeit betont blumig, nach getrocknetem Rosenblatt, Tabak, Himbeermarmelade. Am Gaumen mit schöner Fruchtsüße und sattem Schmelz, legt sich wohlig über die Zunge, mit klarer Frucht und salzigem Unterton, druckvoll und lange."

"La bellezza della precisione offre nel calice un quadro sensoriale ben delineato che si racconta con note di petali di rosa, fiori di ibisco, fragole tagliate non perfettamente mature, gerani e pepe bianco. Il sottofondo è ancora floreale con la lavanda ed i fiori di agapanto che generano la tridimensionalità tanto sperata. Corpo medio, tannini maturi leggermente rigidi al momento che avranno bisogno di tempo per venir fuori ed un finale compatto dalla buona crescita e progressione. That's class. Meglio dal 2022."

"Sinuoso al naso con note di prugne nere, asfalto, liquirizia e tante spezie indiane. Il bouquet sensoriale è davvero complesso e spazia su differenti profili, a dimostrazione dell'unicità di questo vino. Corpo pieno, tannini rotondi e succosi ed un finale equilibrato e mordente. Grande voglia di ritornare al bicchiere qui. Parte lentamente e con il passare del tempo nel bicchiere dona il meglio di sè. Meglio dal 2020 al 2024."
