93 Points - Wine Spectator, October 2018.

92 Points - Falstaff, February 2019. "Intense dark ruby with opaque core. Fragrant nose of dark berries, lots of elderberry and cassis, then some shoe polish on the aftertaste paired with fine pepper spice, slightly animalistic following aeration. Very harmonious throughout on the palate, pulls powerfully over the tongue with pleasant freshness and tightly woven tannins, finishes with firm drive, dark spice on the finish."

17/20 Points - Vinum Wine Magazine, "Sangiovese and Cabernet from the single vineyard of the same name at 450 meters above sea level Smells intriguingly of herbs and cassis, also smoky and rosehip tones; smooth on the palate, elegant fruit finish. Interesting wine."
