Nicolas Belfrage | Medium depth color, with a hint of turn on the rim. Cherry and plum on the nose. Positive attack, good spread on the tongue, fresh acidity, and a slight tannic hit on the back, a touch bitter. Has complexity and character, ideally drink from 2020. | 92

Bruno Besa | Ruby to garnet. Intense, refined, spicy, earthy nose, with dried herbs, small red fruits, crushed stones, and hints of cedar wood and road tar. Medium to full body, with sweet small red fruits, clean cranberry and raspberries on the palate, and a long, elegant, and inviting finish. Another class-act Sangiovese. | 94

Andrew Jefford | Bright, light, clear garnet red. A little featureless, aromatically speaking, as if the aging process has drained the wine of its aromatic profile—though there are no off-notes either. Slightly stewy, clumsy, and charmless on the palate, though drinkable enough; it just doesn’t have palpable virtue. | 80
