"Maturo e dal profilo intenso mostra note di prugne nere, more, incenso, alloro e liquirizia. Corpo medio-pieno, tannini secchi che asciugano durante il sorso ed un finale a cui manca un po' di mordenza e carattere. Bevi ora."

"Leggermente offuscata la matrice vino che mostra note di fiori rossi pressati, terra umida, liquirizia bagnata e riduzione in sottofondo. Corpo medio, mostra al palato un timida mancanza di equilibrio ed un finale a cui manca un po' di mordenza e carattere. Bevi ora."

"Here's a sophisticated and austere ripasso made from Corvina and Rondinella with aromas of old spice, dried figs and prunes. There's cinnamon and crushed cardamom at the back and the wine seems older than what you can expect from a 2006 vintage. Drink it now. Imported by Frederick Wildman & Sons, Ltd."

"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Santi 'Solane' Valpolicella Classico Superiore Ripasso" from the vintage 1999 on 01.01.2003 with 83 of 100 points.
"A tired, browning hue is confirmed on nose and palate, where citrus rind and leather mix with fast-fading dried cherry fruit. The finish is dry and herbal. For a '99 this seems prematurely aged, yet it has some of the better qualities of an older wine: texture, tannins and leather."
