Raffaele Vecchione
Ripe and fascinating, it shows notes of strawberries, red plums, cassis, and pomegranate. Lots of tangerine juice dominates the secondary scene. Full body, very soft and well integrated tannins and a finish of commendable beauty and notable persistence. Drink now or age.

James Suckling
Fresh flower, strawberry and mushroom aromas follow through to a medium body, with round tannins and tangy acidity. Candied oranges to the plummy fruit. Drinkable now, but even better in a year or two.
