Nicolas Belfrage: Relatively light, bright, with turn. Sweet evolved fruit of Sangiovese at full ripeness. Very correct Sangiovese cherry fruit with evolution. Good balance of parts and reasonable length; very typical. 17

Bruno Besa: Lively garnet to tawny, pink rim. Peppery, broad, spicy nose, with lively red-fruit core and intense floral undertones. Medium to full body, austere but balanced with long, restrained finish. Great food wine 17.5

Stephen Brook: Deep red. Spicy, sour-cherry nose, lively and lifted. Medium-bodied, sleek, with fine-grained tannins and zesty acidity. All this suggests Chianti rather than Vino Nobile, and the wine has an overall purity that has not been a feature of this tasting. Zesty, tangy, refreshing, and long. 17
