"Leuchtendes Rubinrot. In der Nase leicht balsamischer, schöner Holzeinsatz, nach Eukalyptus, Cassis, Holunderbeeren, leichte Pfefferwürze. Am Gaumen noch jung und aktuell vom Holztannin dominiert, zeigt sich spannungsvoll und mit Druck, im Nachhall noch etwas zehrend."

"Leuchtendes, sattes Rubinrot. Offenherzige und einladende Nase, nach satten Kirschen und Veilchen, im Nachhall reife Walderdbeeren. Am Gaumen saftig und klar, öffnet sich mit feiner Himbeerfrucht, zarter Druck, wird im Nachhall dann etwas trocknend."

"Knupperkirsche, Leder und Minze. Am Gaumen saftig ansetzend, mit schöner Gaumenfrucht und straffem, aber nicht adstringierendem Tannin, zeigt die Morellino-typische Tischweinart in einem recht ausgefeilten und konzentrierten Format. Milde Säure, dennoch keine Breite. Zum Brasato. Ulrich Sautter"
