(2020) 17.5 / 20 – Jancis Robinson – “Lustrous ruby with bricky rim. Complex, balsamic cherry with hints of tar and a suggestion of cumin, rosemary and blood orange. Looks like a little new oak was used. Impressive depth on the nose. Still a little backward on the palate with sour cherry and raspberry fruit and long, fine, sandy tannins. Very long and with great depth; suave at the same time.” (Walter Speller – JancisRobinson.com)

(2019) 17.5 / 20 – Jancis Robinson – “Pale ruby. A compelling sweet-raspberry, sour-cherry nose mingling with complex, sweet oak and with hints of fresh mint. Fragrant, long and elegant, while the sappy fruit is still a little marked by the oak, and bags of powdery tannins on the finish. Such amazing elegance for a Ghemme! Deceptively light of touch, but this needs food. A stunning Ghemme.” (Walter Speller – JancisRobinson.com)

(2019) 92 / 100 – Kerin O’Keefe – “Aromas of small red berry, violet, oak-driven spice and camphor shape the nose. Elegant and structured, the smooth, tense palate offers juicy red berry and French oak sensations of coconut, vanilla and mocha accompanied by polished tannins. Drink through 2031.” (Kerin O’Keefe – kerinokeefe.com)

(2019) 95 / 100 – Wine Pilot – “Glossy black cherries and Japanese plums takes the central stage here, conveying an exotic oak garment (older barrels), sandalwood, cedar and a touch of cinnamon. It takes a while before showing the provenance and fruit profile. Sappy, soft-grainy tannins hug the multi-layered palate. It’s a moreish and alluring Ghemme with an English accent.” (Lisa Cardelli – Winepilot)
