Bruno Besa | Deep garnet to tawny, pink. Complex, intense, animal nose, with black fruits, aromatic woods, prunes, leather, and tobacco. Full-bodied and ripe, with big tannins, prune juice, black cherries, and a long, clean, slightly overripe finish. | 91

Andrew Jefford | Clear, bright black-red. Sweet, respiring, and refined: aromas of real grace, depth, and evolution here, though just a little featureless and serene compared to the very best of its peers. Smooth, long, vivid; rather insistent in style. This is a generous and forthright wine, but it lacks grain and intricacy. | 85

Anthony Rose | Medium-ruby hue; nice aromatic quality, good Sangio depth of aroma and fruit, firm and intense in structure, very classic in style and rather chewy. | 90
