Bruno Besa | Ruby to pink. Slightly closed, cedarwood and small-red-fruit nose, with intense minerality and hints of oriental spices and dried herbs. A superb palate, compact, clean, and complex, with crushed stones, red cherries, red-apple skin, and a long, mineral finish. Classic Sangiovese for the cellar. | 93

Andrew Jefford | Clear, deep black-red. Slightly grouchy aromas, lacking purity and freshness; ample fruits in evidence, nonetheless. Forcefully firm and sound. Much to enjoy, though no aromatic finesse as yet. | 86

Anthony Rose | Mid-ruby in color; a traditional feel on the nose and palate here, with no overt oak, just pleasingly fresh and juicy Sangio fruit, a tad constrained by firmish tannins and the fresh spine of acidity; in an authentic style, if just not going quite the extra mile in terms of concentration or complexity; and also noticeably evolving. | 90
