97 points Kerin O'Keefe (Wine Enthusiast): "[$434/750ml list] Rose petal, forest floor, woodland berry and wet iron aromas come to the forefront on this stunning red. All about finesse and balance, the delicious, precise palate features juicy raspberry, red cherry, star anise and ground clove framed in tightly knit but ultrarefined tannins and bright acidity. Drink 2026–2038. Alcohol 14%. (Oct 2022)"
94 points Aldo Fiordelli (Decanter): "The grapes for this Langhe Nebbiolo come exclusively from Vigna Rionda - one of the greatest crus of Serralunga. The estate planted new vineyards in 2013 and the young vines are used mostly to produce this wine. It's one of the best examples this year, intensely perfumed with an outstanding definition of rose petal, earthy strawberry and pomegranate. Full bodied, it is dominated by initially firm then refreshing acidity, with velvety tannins, a slightly chalky finish and amazing savouriness. Drinking Window: 2021-2035. (5/7/21)"
93 points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "The 2018 Langhe Nebbiolo Ester Canale Rosso is a beautiful, beguiling wine. Sweet red cherry, kirsch, mint, pine and blood orange give the 2018 striking inner perfume and tons of charm. This mid-weight, pretty translucent Langhe Nebbiolo captures all the seduction of Rionda. Drink it over the next decade or so. Drink: 2021-2028. (Sep 2021)"
