110 points/'Cum Laude,' Luca Gardini: "Luminous ruby colour of great depth, compact in the glass. The nose has clear aromas of pomegranate, yellow raspberry, balsamic nuances and wild touches of laurel and pink pepper at the end. The mouthfeel is taut and elegant, the tannins are well blended with the fruit-saline component. The finish is fresh and balsamic, very drinkable."
93 points Kerin O'Keefe: "The 2021 Ruché Riserva il Fondatore shows structure and finesse, offering aromas of crushed rose petal, oak-driven spice, dark-skinned berry and a hint of graphite. Fermented in steel and aged in French oak tonneaux and large barrels, the full-bodied enveloping palate delivers ripe dark-skinned fruit, peppercorn, blood orange and a hint of coffee bean. Fresh acidity and velvety, fine-grained tannins provide support. Drink: 2025–2031. (Jun 2024)"
