96+ points Ian d'Agata Wine Review: "Vivid red. Pretty perfumed on entry, with initially creamy red cherry and berry jam flavours, then austere and tannic in a 2019-typical way. Long and fresh, clean and mineral, but don’t even think of opening a bottle before 2032. Drinking window: 2032-2042. (Nov 2024)"
95 points Kerin O'Keefe: "From one of the most hallowed sites in the entire denomination, the 2019 Ettore Germano Vigna Rionda has alluring aromas of wild rose, perfumed berry, forest floor and a balsamic note of camphor. It’s elegantly structured and full-bodied, featuring juicy Morello cherry, licorice and pipe tobacco alongside tightly knit, velvety tannins. Fresh acidity keeps it well balanced. Drink 2029–2044. (Feb 2024)"
94 points Wine Spectator: "There's a silky side to this cherry-, strawberry- and eucalyptus-flavored red, along with a firm side that expresses itself on the finish. Overall, this is elegant despite the dusty, mouthcoating tannins. Shows fine intensity and length. Best from 2028 through 2045. 216 cases made, 70 cases imported. (Oct 2024)"
