A bright and primary red with sliced strawberries, citrus and stone aromas and flavors. Medium body. Fine tannins and a fresh finish. Tangy. Crushed stones. Juicy and nicely chewy. Transparent. Drink after 2026. - James Suckling, 94 pts
This red offers an appealing balance between the cherry, currant, tar, eucalyptus and spice flavors and the solid, sinewy structure. Ends with a mix of ripe fruit and savory elements. Best from 2026 through 2043. - Wine Spectator, 92 pts
According to Domenico Clerico's winemaker, ‘in the 2019 vintage there is five percent of barrique due to the important tannic pattern of the vintage, otherwise the wine ages in big Slavonian oak.’ Full of leafy lightness and focused on cherry kernel and red currant fruit, the wine is precise and more elegant than powerful, with almost-crisp acidity and velvety tannins. It's a bit more fierce, if not rustic, on the finish. - Decanter, 91 pts
