Reviews 96 points Wine Advocate "...graced with a similar interlude of elegant rose or crushed flower that we saw in the annata wine. It appears more prominently here, and with more shape and focused intensity. Make no mistake, Giacomo Neri builds wines for pleasure and sensual impact, and this wine (helped by a hot growing season and 15% alcohol) ticks all those boxes. But it also shows floral elegance and sour cherry freshness that defies our expectations of the vintage. (ML)" 93 points Vinous "...lifts up with a layered display of peppery herbs, musky plums, black raspberry, crushed stone, tobacco and smoke. It�s silky yet juicy, pliant and staining to the senses, offering violet and lavender tones balanced by cooling acids and hints of candied citrus. The 2017 really plays with the palate; it�s spicy, long and intense, and lightly structured yet classically dry. Balsamic herbs, salted licorice � it goes on and on like a spice box menagerie. An elegant pleasure bomb. (EG)"
