Jennifer Havers rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Consistently lovely every vintage. Aromas of dried currant, plum, and ripe blackberry with hints of oak, leather and war spice. Medium bodied on the palate with bright acidity, fruit is ripe and has nice layers of fruit, smoke, and spice on the finish. Enjoy with dried salumi and hard cheeses.

Karri rated this wine as 100/100

Cherie Cole rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

This robust Italian red presents notes of dark plum, dried cherry, dark chocolate and a hint of sweet spice. Full-bodied with medium-high tannins. Pair this wine with roast Caribou, Moose or other game.

A big, oak-influenced, powerful ripasso style wine with a fragrant nose of prune, tar, lemon, mocha and vanilla with blackberry jam. It is full bodied and dense with fruit and intensely flavoured but still juicy with some fine tannins that emerge to keep the finish dry. Very good to excellent length. Well balanced. Try with the with bbq ribs. Tasted August 2017.
