94(+?) Points | International Wine Cellar , July/August 2012

Bright red.  Terrific floral lift to the ripe aromas of red fruits and spices.  Perfumed and penetrating in the mouth, with outstanding energy and thrust to the spicy cherry and redcurrant flavors.  No excess weight here!  Most impressive today on the very long, fine-grained finish, which features a saline nuance, suave tannins and superb palate-cleansing mineral grip.  Balanced from day one but quite dense and tightly coiled:  I'd hold my bottles for at least four or five years before pulling the cork.  This outstanding riserva should be long-lived.
