93 points Monica Larner (Wine Advocate): "In this edition of 14,000 bottles, the 2018 Sicilia Nerello Mascalese Eruzione 1614 is a beautifully elegant and streamlined wine that reflects the precision and careful winemaking that is a hallmark of the Planeta family. This wine opens to fine and nuanced aromas of wild berry, cassis and rose. Etched mineral notes and light spice frame a core of pretty fruit. This is a classic Etna red that can be stretched out to a 10-year drinking window if desired, although there's no reason not to enjoy this bottle straight out of the gate. Drink: 2021-2028. (Oct 2021)"

92 points Kerin O'Keefe (Wine Enthusiast): "Delicately fragrant and poised, this focused red offers enticing scents suggesting wild rose, red berries, wet stone and a whiff of flinty mineral. Hailing from extremely high-altitude vineyards, the linear, ethereal palate features tart sour cherry, pomegranate, white pepper and saline alongside racy acidity. Lithe tannins lend polished support. (Oct 2021)"

92 points Falstaff Guide

90 points Wine Spectator: "Pretty plum and raspberry fruit flavors are accented by a fine, aromatic thread of dried thyme, smoky mineral and rosehip in this harmonious, light- to medium-bodied red. Drink now through 2024. (10/31/21)"
