"Lustrous and just mid ruby with orange tinges. Complex and monolithic. A deep layer of fruit hidden under black pepper, stones and saline notes. Finely ground tannin and succulent acidity wrapping up embryonic fruit. Gorgeous balance and length. More approachable than in other years. but this is far from ready. (WS) 14.5%"

"Aromas of rose, woodland berry, underbrush and spice form the fragrant, expressive nose on the fantastic 2018 Vignolo Riserva. The smooth, delicious palate mirrors the nose, delivering fleshy raspberry, wild strawberry, truffle and baking spice before a minty finish. Tightly woven, polished tannins offer enveloping support while fresh acidity keeps it beautifully balanced. While this already almost approachable, it will age beautifully for years. Drink 2026–2038. Abv: 14.5% Kerin O'Keefe August 2024"

"Sleek and expressive, this red is all about finesse. Rose, cherry, strawberry, orange peel, iron and wild herb flavors are driven by the bracing acidity, while light tannins line the finish. Shows fine balance and length. Best from 2026 through 2043. —B.S."
