100 points Kerin O’Keefe: “Made entirely with old Nerello Mascalese vines grown in Contrada Barbabecchi on Etna’s northern slopes, the 2021 Frank Cornelissen Magma is drop-dead gorgeous and the best wine I’ve had to date from this iconic producer. Boasting body, balance, perfume and racy mineral tension, it delivers delicious flavors of baking spice, strawberry compote and bitter orange along with intense flinty mineral sensations that show its Etna pedigree. Velvety tannins provide endless finesse while racy acidity gives it an edge and lends even more energy. An absolute beauty. Drink through 2036. (May 2024)” 99 points Luca Gardini: “From Contrada Barbabecchi. Crispy entrance, red fruits and spicy notes. Velvety tannins, elegant, fruity return and long persistence (Jul 2024)”
98 points James Suckling: "This is a muscular young wine with long and very fine tannins that run through the middle of the wine. Flowers and blue fruits. Volcanic slope undertones that give scents of walking through vineyards there. Medium-bodied. Tight at the end. Great potential. Compelling young wine. So much raciness here. From organically grown grapes. Give this three to five years of bottle age. (9/8/23)"
