2010: "Crystallized dark fruit aromas show an inky, peppery quality. Very deep and youthfully chewy, with an impression of strong extract giving the dark fruit, menthol and flinty mineral flavors an austere aspect. Finishes long and inky; though this is still young." – Vinous 91+pts 2011: "A big and powerful Chianti Classico with incredible blackberry, currant and mineral character. Full-bodied, chewy and rich. "– James Suckling 96pts 2013:"A bright and refined with delicate chocolate, plum and raspberry character. Medium body, integrated fruit and tannins. Bright acidity. Love the vivid fruit and citrus combination here."– James Suckling 95pts 2015: "A fresh and linear Gran Selezione Chianti Classico with firm and chewy tannins and dark fruits. Full body. Structured. "– James Suckling 95 pts 2016: "There’s lots of clove character here, but the fruit really shines through, offering up intense hibiscus, orange rind, cranberries, Thai basil and dark chocolate. Full-bodied and really structured and refined with an agile core of berries and savory undertones. Long but minerally on the finish. "– James Suckling 97pts 2018: "This is spicy with nutmeg, cloves and hints of hazelnuts that add complexity to the black-cherry and raspberry undertones. Full-bodied, rich and layered with a velvety texture and a flavorful finish. Beautiful center palate. Very powerful and structured. Hints of mushroom and balsamic in the aftertaste. "– James Suckling 97pts
