Nicolas Belfrage | Mid-depth ruby, not much evolution. Forward, fruity, welcoming nose, quite scented, the accent on fruit rather than wood. Lively opening, fresh and inviting, acids middling, a little grippy, withatouch of bitter at back palate. Slips down, medium length. A quaffer, drinking early but for some time. | 90

Bruno Besa | Medium ruby to garnet, pink. Clean, compact, intense yet elegant and restrained small red fruits nose, with crushed stones, tobacco leaf, and Mediterranean herbs. Medium body, with sweet cranberry fruit, super-elegant tannins, and a long, mint and rosemary finish. Super Sangiovese, with considerable elegance and drinkability. | 96

Andrew Jefford | Bright, light, and clear; deep cherry hue. Cherry is the main aromatic key, too: lifted and sweet, withatouch of lanolin. Vivid, fresh, lively, lifted bitter-sour cherry fruits: a graceful, incisive soprano, though I wouldn’t put this at the back of the cellar. | 84
