James Suckling (94)

A floral, smoky and savory wine with a leesy character and aromas of incense, stony minerality and fresh strawberries. Medium-bodied, it shows velvety tannins, crisp acidity, a supple palate and a juicy, slightly lifted finish. Drinkable now, but best in two or three years.

Vinous (92)

The 2022 Valtellina Superiore Sassella Riserva Stella Retica is an absolute delight. Aromatic and vibrant, with terrific presence, the 2022 is all class. Dark red/purplish fruit, blood orange, pomegranate and orange peel are all sculpted in the glass. This is such an elegant and polished wine.

BOW (8.25)

Falstaff (92)

Light ruby red colour with a brighter rim. Fine, clean nose of forest fruits, clearly blackberry and redcurrant, hints of coffee and blood orange. Dense on the palate, with measured tannin, medium palate drive and a remarkable finish.
