Nicolas Belfrage: Deep, almost opaque, youthful. Clean, at first slightly inexpressive fruit, developing toward give ample pleasure. Very long. 90

Andrew Jefford: Deep, dark black-red. Some sweet wood here, but very elegantly drawn; leaf mold and polished ebony provide some darker aromatic notes. Charm and grace overall. Dry, open-textured flavors with satisfactory concentration and flavory depths; coffee notes on the finish and firm tannins. Amply satisfying Brunello Reserva. 86
