93 points Wine & Spirits: "[$60/750ml list] Aglianico for this bottling comes from two of Mastroberardino’s vineyards, combining elegance from Mirabella Eclano’s sandy soils with power from the clay soils of Montemarano. It ages for two years in Slavonian casks and French oak barriques (just 20 percent new), preserving the wine’s scents of rose petal and pink peppercorn. Lithe and medium bodied, it broadens with exposure to air, the black-plum flavors giving way to more sanguine notes of smoked sausage and rare sirloin. The cool, polished tannins have a graphite-mineral tone; the wine’s tight structure and bright acidity suggest plenty of aging potential. (Jun 2018)"
93 points James Suckling: "Plenty of spice, dark tea and seaweed. Medium to full body, firm and silky tannins and a pretty finish. Shows real aglianico character. Drink now. (10/20/17)"
92 points Ian D'Agata (Vinous): "[$60/750ml list] Good dark red-ruby. Exotic, very pure, perfumed aromas of dried red cherry, plum nectar, licorice and Asian spices. Supple and sweetly spicy, showing very good energy and outstanding focus to the cool, suave red fruit flavors. The expressive finish features noteworthy energy and refinement. Drink: 2018-2030. (Nov 2018)"
