Roy Richards Reductive. Remains so. This is very tight and tannic, really difficult to assess. I can’t see the mouth-puckering abating to lend definition to the rather baked fruit. 11

Franco Ziliani: Very inky, concentrated deep color (the new clones of Sangiovese, of course!). On the nose gives the impression of being in a tonnellerie or in a Massif Central French forest with coffee, dark chocolate, toasted notes. No elegance at all, no balance. The palate confirms impression of a modern stupid wine without balance or finesse. very boring wine without future and without present. 10
