"From a hot vintage, this wine shows a baked berry aroma on the nose, doused in tobacco, clove and other sweet oak spices. The palate is simultaneously plummy and ripe, yet harsh, with sharp acids and bitter tannins holding court. Alexander Peartree"

"This hearty red is packed tight with superintense aromas of black fruit, leather, tobacco and roasted espresso bean. Bold, big and meaty, this is richly extracted and inky dark. Pair it with aged Pecorino cheese."

"This gorgeous wine bursts open with loads of ripe fruit, blackberry, tar, asphalt and pipe tobacco. It's a thick, velvety expression with a high caliber of concentration and intensity that would pair with roast lamb or barbecue pork chops. Age 5-7 more years."

"Opi Riserva is a dense wine (in a heavy bottle) that would pair with spicy barbecue sauce and succulent grilled meats. The wine is redolent of mature fruit, blackberry jam, exotic spice, clove and cinnamon. It's a soft, sticky expression with long spice flavors on a slightly sweet finish."

"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Farnese Opi" from the vintage 2004 on 01.01.2009 with 90 of 100 points.
"Careful oak aging has shaped a hearty and deeply concentrated Montepulciano d'Abruzzo that boasts pretty aromas of black fruit, spice, black stone and graphite. The wine is soft and very fruity with loads of lush cherry flavors."

"Here's a nicely aged Riserva Montepulciano (it sees ten months in oak) that oozes darkness: dark burgundy in color with blackberry, plum, black cherry, tar, mocha-fudge and exotic spice aromas. Built like a rock: it's plush and concentrated in the mouth with tight tannins."

"Dark inky purple colour. Intense nose of blackberry, licorice, pepper and spices. The palate is dense and concentrated with a fine spiciness, black pepper, dark berries, good oak, a rigid backbone but integrated tannins, very long and persistent finish, very promising."

85 of 100 Points.
"Andreas Larsson - Tasted" has rated the wine "Farnese Opi" from the vintage 2011 with 85 of 100 points.
"Dark inky colour. Intense nose of jammed fruit, prune, dark cherry and new oak. The palate is full bodied with high extraction, young and restrained fruit, some floral notes, new oak and vanilla notes and a medium long finish, slightly pushed right now, should soften and integrate, rather oaky at present."
