93 points Decanter: "Despite losing 5-6% of production to frost damage in 2021, it was a generous year for the estate. Even the oldest vines, from which the Riserva is selected, yielded enough fruit for a record 10,000-bottle production. Initial nutty, oxidative aromas transition to wafts of sweet herbs ranging from mint and tarragon to fennel and liquorice. Ripe and plentiful, the palate packs in pure raspberry and sour cherry. Concentration and richness of fruit is offset by the tactile chalky texture and minerally undertow. Cedary wood notes still need to integrate but this tightens up on the finish, showing clear direction. Drinking window 2025-2035 (Feb 2024)"
92 points Raffaele Vecchione (WinesCritic.com): "Bright and of excellent sensorial workmanship, it shows notes of black plums, blackberries, litchi, lemon peel, cut grass, thyme and guarana. Full body, well-extracted and biting tannins and a slightly bitter but structured finish with a biting character. Better from 2026. (Feb 2024)"
