This is still a closed, young wine, but the potential of the spicy, ripe, but still light and elegant fruit is going to be great. Intense concentration seems to be the hallmark of the wines made by Gianni Menotti at this great estate.——R.V.(7/1/2003)—— 90

Slightly musky apple and pear aromas segue into purer flavors suggestive of apples, grapefruits and minerals. Grapefruit pith makes a brief appearance on the long finish. ——J.C.(7/1/2003)—— 87

Lovely fresh peach and apricot aromas. Crisp and fresh. Light on its feet without lacking for flavor intensity or mouthfeel.——W.E.(11/1/1999)—— 87
