Wine Enthusiast: 93 pts

Various critics (including Wine Spectator & others via Wine‑Searcher) rate the vintage highly among Riservas for its depth and ageing capacity Food Pairing

Pairs beautifully with braised meats, roasted lamb, game, truffle dishes, aged cheeses (Parmigiano, aged Pecorino). Brings out its fullest when served after decanting. Aging & Cellaring

Fully mature now but remains excellent for additional cellar time. Best enjoyed with decanting; will continue to evolve over the next few years with tertiary notes of sous‑bois, leather, forest floor.
