In the words of Canada’s authoritative Gismondi, “The 09 saw the merlot ripen early while the cabernet sauvignon and sangiovese hung longer delayed by September rains. The nose is classic super Tuscan with a savoury earthy black olive, black cherry aroma flecked with floral notes. The palate is suave and supple with light tannins. More black fruit and earthy cassis and peppery, black olive, orange peel, dried herb flavours mark the palate and finish. Balanced yet with intensity it is the perfect wine for bistecca alla fiorentina. 90 points.”

La giornalista recensisce: ‘Sono piuttosto contenuta rispetto annate precedenti. Un vino maturo , fresco e rivitalizzante. Ma senza spigoli. Molto facile da gradire, con un buon controllo del calore e della dolcezza , ottimo trattamento dei tannini. Un grande sforzo è andato in questo! No cioccolato. Solo piacere. Dovrebbe essere perfetto con il fegato di vitello e le cipolle. 17,5 Punti.

In the words of the influential U.S. journal, “an attractive Sauvignon laced with sweet white peaches, pears and sage. Winemaker Axel Heinz uses some bâttonage, which gives the wine lovely textural depth and richness, even though malolactic fermentation is blocked. Varietal aromatics and flavors are present in the background. Hints of ash, slate and crushed rocks linger on the pointed, nuanced finish. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2016. 90 points.”

In the words of this influential U.S. wine guide: “Shows off tons of concentration and sheer depth. Mocha, espresso, dark cherries and plums are some of the many notes that take shape in the glass. The 2010 is a decidedly powerful, virile wine endowed with considerable power. The 2010 is a highly promising Serre Nuove. Drink 2017-2027. 93 points.”
