James Suckling, James Suckling, September 2018
“#8 Italian Wines of 2018 & #34 Top Wines of 2018 - Incredible aromas of violets, roses and blue fruits. So perfumed. Never smelled a wine like this before. Full body, perfectly integrated tannins and bright, vivid acidity. Extremely long and endless. A seamless and great one. An evocative wine that makes you think. Needs three to five years of bottle age on release. Unique red. Available in 2019.”

“The aromas are so seductive with dried roses and berries. Tar and asphalt too. Full body, very tight and powerful. Leaner and long tannins. It goes on for so long. Stops and then takes over again. A curious and challenging young wine. Great. In market 2020. Better in 2026.”

“This is a really dense red with intensity and beauty, showing dried fruit, such as strawberries, as well as chocolate, tar, hazelnuts and meat. Really complex and rich. Opulent, yet tense with dusty tannins. Extremely long. Great finish. Hard not to drink now, but will age incredibly well. Try after 2025.”

“This is a very sexy, soft Barbaresco with chocolate, earth and pure fruit, from strawberries to cherries. Medium -o full-bodied with elegant tannins that give form to this wine. It’s fine and lovely in the mouth. Exciting. A fine, granular-textured red. Drinkable now, but better in 2024.”
