April 14, 2017 - Verticale di Brancaia di fine Millennio (Firenze): Da una magnum. Aperto circa tre ore prima di servirlo. Bel Granato intenso. Naso potente di confettura di frutta nera, alleggerito da sentori vegetali di tabacco e fieno, appena balsamico e con una punta di spezie. Piuttosto pulito e solo parzialmente terziarizzato, con un lieve accenno di goudron. Al palato decisamente fresco, con tannini ben levigati, e finale di media lunghezza. Pronto ma ancora non alla fine del suo percorso.

September 18, 2016 - Colore ancora abbastanza giovanile. Naso immediatamente vegetale e speziato, piccante di pepe, ginepro, tabacco e cuoio con note di frutta secca. Solo dopo nel bicchiere si schiudono sentori di frutta rossa che addolciscono e danno complessità. Al palato media struttura, molta freschezza, tannini completamente risolti. fatica ad allungarsi nel finale. Decisamente pronto.

April 4, 2015 - Ruby red. No hints of brown. Expressive nose, backward on the palate. After an hour it opens up. Still red fruits in the middle, rather complex. Lingering finish. Smooth, relaxed wine, great to drink, also with food.
Ready now, will not improve. Tannins are soft.
Great experience. -

January 10, 2006 - Medium body, nice fruit and balance. Some tanin, but definitely drinking now, don't think it will improve with age.

April 18, 2004 - Seattle Tasting Group does Italians and six decades of Porto hosted by Roy Hersh (Bellevue, WA, USA): Very austere and angular. Where is the fruit and love in this one? Very unforgiving wine.
