RATINGS

94Vinous / IWC

...bold, punchy wine. Super-ripe, red berry fruit, cedar, licorice, spice and tobacco all build in a sumptuous, flamboyant Carmignano loaded with character...rich, heady wine yet it pulls that off with notable plomb and grace. This is such a gorgeous wine.

92James Suckling

Lots of ripe fruit that verges on being jammy with dried-berry, cherry and chocolate character. It’s full-bodied with chewy tannins and an intense finish.
