95 points Eric Guido (Vinous): "It’s almost impossible to pull away from the darkly alluring and utterly radiant aromatics of the 2020 Aglianico del Vulture Titolo. With each swirl, tobacco, ash and forest floor give way to crushed violets, black currants and mint candies. It washes across the palate like pure silk, at first pliant and soothing, yet quickly gains a more tactile crunch, as mineral-tinged fruits saturate, and savory herbal tones resonate throughout. The 2020 finishes structured and incredibly long with notes of salted licorice, balsamic spice and cocoa that never seem to quit; and yet, through it all, residual acids keep the mouth-watering. This is deceptively attractive at this young stage, yet structured for the long haul—what a beauty. Drink 2025-2038 (Sep 2022)"

91 points James Suckling: "Aromas of ripe dark berries, leather, tobacco, chocolate and mushroom. Medium- to full-bodied with dry, chewy tannins and a succulent fruit character. Flavorful finish with some earthiness to it. Drink or hold. (Feb 2023)"

91 points Wine Spectator: "A well-knit red, with expressive notes of ripe yet tangy blackberry and mulberry fruit, this structured version is fresh and chewy on the palate. Shows a minerally streak of ashy smoke, iron and medicinal herbs that linger on the finish. Best from 2025 through 2030. (Nov 2023)"
