Rating: 95 Points (James Suckling)

“For a 2010, this is still very fresh indeed, showcasing sour cherries, red plums, citrus, orange peel and grenadine. Very linear and tangy on the palate, but the muscular tannins provide depth and power. Medium-to full-bodied and medium-chewy on the vibrant finish. Beautifully crafted and expertly shaped. Flag-bearer for the modern style of Amarone. Drink now.”

Rating: 92 Points (Wine Spectator)

“A graceful, medium- to full-bodied red, with a deep, minerally core of iron and smoke notes, wrapped in aromas and flavors of dried red currant, orange peel, medicinal herbs and anise. Taut tannins firm the finish, which shows more smoke and spice. Drink now through 2026. 8,000 cases made, 1,000 cases imported.”
