Nicolas Belfrage: Medium deep with some turn, apparently correct. Mushroom and plum on nose. Ripe, integrated and very Sangiovese, it inspires by its complexity but lets itself down with a slight lack of concentration. Drinking 2012 to 2020+. 16

Roy Richards Polished, but closed. Very sweet middle, furry tannins. Good, perhaps over-oaked. 15

Franco Ziliani: Very ripe, evolved nose with an abundance of fruit and some aromatic notes. The palate is rich with great substance and a solid structure, but tannins tend to finish slightly bitter, dry, and astringent and are not well-harmonized. 13
