92 points James Suckling: "Aromas of fresh red cherry, baked strawberry and earthy spice. Medium-bodied with silky tannins. Lovely savory character on the palate with clear juicy red fruit. Nuanced with nice length. Drink now. (Sep 2022)."
WHWC Staff Notes: "The riserva bottling from La Quercia is quite a step up from their entry-level wine in many ways. The full year in Slavonian oak imparts a distinct vanilla and cedar profile to the nose along with aromas of graphite, new leather, and dense blackberry compote. The palate is built on a firm foundation of grippy tannins and medium-full weight, and although it's a bit muted at present, initial flavors of dried black fruits, pencil shavings, and licorice suggest that this wine has plenty of character yet to be revealed. A serious bargain for the price."
