Professional reviews

James Suckling (95)

Ripe, sweet black currant, black cherry, iron, leather and tobacco flavors mingle in this tightly-wound red. Balanced, dense and remains focused and persistent on the lingering finish. Decant now, or age another year or two. Cabernet Sauvignon and Sangiovese.

Jancis Robinson (18)

70% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Sangiovese from the hillside of Ruffoli, near the estate. The vineyard has been certified biodynamic since 2000. Aged for 18 months in barriques of French oak (30% new).
Lustrous youthful ruby. Youthful on the nose too. Concentrated red fruit that is still a little embryonic and not fully unfurled. Just hints of dark, exotic spice notes in the background. Minerally and tight but already shows amazing depth. Gorgeous, taut, tightly knit, tangy fruit and finely ground tannins on the palate. Very long and youthful and superbly structured. Cabernet Sauvignon and Sangiovese blend, of which the sum is greater than the parts. The wine expresses originality rather than grape varieties. (WS)
