Bruno Besa | Ruby to garnet. Intense and ripe yet elegant and complex on the nose, with prunes, red cherries, raw red meat, rosemary, hints of leather, cedarwood, geranium, and violets. Balanced on the palate, with sweet blood oranges and raspberries, refined tannins, and a long, lively finish. Super-inviting wine for mid-term cellaring. | 91

Andrew Jefford | Light, clear, and translucent garnet-red. Sweet, warm, but rather single-toned, with some cereal grain and raisin here. A little raisiny and dry-finishing; lacks wealth, volume, and allusiveness. | 84

Anthony Rose | Medium ruby; initially savory notes, a tad shy on the nose; quite evolved fruit flavors, savory rather than obviously fruity, with no evident oak other than in a certain softness of texture; a traditional style of Brunello, which is nicely approachable but perhaps lacks the stuffing for serious aging. | 89
