95 points James Suckling: "I like the aromas of vine bark, rose stem, light parsley, and red fruits that follow through to a medium body, with white pepper and cloves with a fresh and vivid finish. Tight and tannic. Shows tightness and focus. Best after 2025 but already fascinating to taste. (8/4/23)"

94 points Eric Guido (Vinous): "Masses of crushed stone, ash, dusty sage and blackberry form a darkly alluring bouquet as the 2020 Rosso MunJebel CR (Campo Re) grumbles up from the glass. This is pure seduction with textures of pure silk and vividly ripe wild berry fruits. It finds lovely balance through a core of saline-tinged acidity. Wonderfully lifted and refined despite the power within, the CR finishes crunchy and long with a coating of gently grippy tannins that frame the experience perfectly. It's almost impossible to stop at just one glass. Wow. Drink 2026-2036 (Jun 2024)"

92 points Monica Larner (Wine Advocate): "The Frank Cornelissen 2020 Etna Rosso Contrada Campo Re CR is born in a site with very deep topsoils located at the extreme perimeter of the Etna DOC confines. Frank Cornelissen laments that this is certainly not the easiest place to farm grapes (especially in hot and dry vintages like 2017). These results from 2020 show a lot of fruit character and dark cherry concentration with hints of curry leaf, mint, oregano and some of the wild herbs that grow on the volcano. The tannins are softly integrated and the acidity is bright. Mineral nuances add complexity. Drink: 2022-2028. (6/30/23)"

Munjebel CR is an excellent red wine of Sicily, produced with the Nerello Mascalese grape. The wine grows up on volcanic stone over 700 metres of altitude. No filtration and no additives. Effusive notes of red fruits and sweet spieces are the prelude of a fine, elegant and mineral taste.
