"Aperto al naso con note di ciliegie, marasca, fiori di limone e buccia di mandarino. Il carattere mediterraneo domina lo sfondo e si racconta con timo e citronella. Corpo medio-pieno, tannini leggermente gommosi nella forma ed un finale di media persistenza. Meglio dal 2021."

"Dunkle Farbe. Etwas röstig, Holundersaft, aber auch Karamell, roter Spitzpaprika, Beifuß, Rote Bete. Am Gaumen mit Wucht und einem Volumen, das prall bis zum Rand mit reifem, körnigem Gerbstoff ausgefüllt ist. Sehr intensiv und lang, aber auch komplex. Immenses Potenzial, hintergründige reife Säure. Beeindruckend! In diesem warmen Jahr deutlich besser als die Riserva Ducale."

"Ganz leicht aufgehellte Ränder. Dörrbohne, Minze, Kräuterbitter, Macchia, getrocknete Pflaume, beginnend reif, Frucht und Würze in guter Harmonie, am Gaumen mit Saft und sehr viel taktiler Mineralität, straffe Textur, Tannin mittlerer Korngröße, eine Spur positiver Grüntöne, sehnig, jung, gute Säure, strukturell sehr lang, der Alkohol wirkt integriert, vielversprechende Struktur. Überraschend dicht und tief, mit reifen, saftig begleiteten Cassisaromen im Abgang. Führt Eleganz und Dichte zusammen."

"Kleine rote Beeren und Cassis, recht klare, präzise Frucht und nur eine passende Spur Holz. Leicht pikant, Galestro, Holunderblüte, glühendes Eisen. Kräftiger Alkohol, eher dezente Säure, mittelgewichtig im Extrakt, sandiges, etwas trockenes Tannin zum Kauen, gute Länge, ein leichtes Defizit an Gaumenfrucht. Gewinnt allerdings im Glas. Wirkt noch sehr jung."

"Sehr verschlossen, Macchia, Beifuß, Wacholder, trockenes Gestrüpp, etwas Holz, Karamell, geröstete Haselnuss, gerösteter Sesam. Weicher, leicht viskoser Hintergrund und eine trockene Tanninfüllung, eher tiefe Säure, aber in seiner natürlich breiten Art gutmütig, Tannin mittlerer Körnung zum Kauen, eher knappe Säure, aber dennoch mit Zusammenhalt und Länge. Breit und alkoholkräftig, aber in Balance."

"Sehr verschlossen, etwas metallisch, auch Kräuter, Kakaobohne, Kerbel, vegetal. Geschmeidig im Auftakt, etwas wenig Struktur, betont weich und holzcremig abgerundet, dadurch wirkt der Gerbstoff mürb und beinahe etwas glatt, obwohl mengenmäßig sicher genug davon vorhanden ist. Kräftiger Alkohol, würzig-kräuterig im Abklang. Hohe Verdichtung, die allerdings (mitsamt ganz leichter Grüntöne) hinter der dominierenden Öligkeit verschwindet."

"Harmonische Cuvée aus Sangiovese mit Cabernet Sauvignon und Merlot: Intrigante Blume nach Steinobst, Veilchen Gewürzen und Leder; kraftvolle Textur aber doch auch Schliff, schön ummantelte Gerbstoffe, vife Säure, endet lang und ausgewogen. Kann noch reifen."

"(1997 wur de der Modus zum ersten Mal produziert. Er besteht aus je 33% Sangiovese, Merlot und Cabernet Sauvignon und wird im französischen Barriques ausgebaut, die zu einem Drittel neu sind, CHF 37.50.?). Kräftiges Rubin. Expressive Nase, viele Kräuter, ätherische Noten, dunkle Kirschen, Johannisbeere, das Holz wahrnehmbar aber nicht zu dominant. Der Gaumen ist saftig und kraftvoll, das ist eine konzentrierte dunkle Frucht, die getragen wird von markanten Tanninen, diese sind reif und fein gewoben. Der Wein ist trotz seiner Kraft sehr elegant und endet angenehm lang, dunkelfruchtig und ungemein würzig. Ein eleganter Super Tuscan der gut reifen wird. 2018-2030, 18 vvPunkte (90/100)"

"Ruffino's Modus (a blend of Sangiovese, Cabernet and Merlot) boasts thick extraction in the form of chocolate fudge and cherry candy. Lighter tones of apple skin and green herbs pick up the rear. It's on the ripe side with prune-like flavors; drink now."

"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Ruffino Modus Toscana IGT" from the vintage 1999 on 01.01.2002 with 88 of 100 points.
"Saturated purple in color; this Sangiovese-Cabernet-Merlot blend is heavily oaked, so much so that it hints at popcorn. Beyond the wood, however, are notes of root beer and smoked meat. The palate has some hard tannins and the oak is once again strong; it literally takes on a buttery flavor. The finish is the best part: It's all about thick black fruit."
yr. 1997 Wine Enthusiast:
88 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Ruffino Modus Toscana IGT" from the vintage 1997 on 01.01.2002 with 88 of 100 points.
"This super Tuscan shows fine aromatics with a ripe and dark cherry, cream, cedar and chocolate nose. Balanced and dry, it offers a ripe, slightly viscous mouthfeel with black cherry, espresso and toast flavors. Very appealing in the modern manner, it's satisfying, if not terrifically subtle. There's an underlying sense that more depth and intensity could come from the fruit here, even as one enjoys it for its undeniable suave appeal."

"Blend aus Sangiovese, Merlot und Cabernet Sauvignon: Aromatik nach Schwarzkirschen, Pfeffer, Veilchen, auch Bitterschokolade; dichter und doch eleganter Bau, robuste, kraftvolle Tannine, das Finale auf Noten von gedörrten Pflaumen und Kräutern."
