"Dunkles Rubinviolett mit schwarzem Kern. In der Nase offenherzig und einladend, nach Schokoladepulver, Malz, Vanille, dann nach satten Brombeeren sowie Amarenakirschen, im Nachhall zart nach Butterkeksen und getrockneten Veilchen. Am Gaumen satt und strahlend, zeigt dunkle und reife Frucht umhüllt von sattem und eng gewobenem Tannin, baut sich in vielen Schichten auf, endet im Finale sehr lange."

"Molto aperto al naso mostra note di amarene, violetta selvatica, giacinto e agapanto bagnato. Tanto cioccolato e vaniglia dominano la scena secondaria. Corpo pieno, tannini leggermente rigidi ed un finale teso che avrà bisogno di tempo per distendersi. Meglio dal 2026."

"This has a shy nose that eventually releases aromas of toasted oak, scorched forest floor, leather and camphor. The bracing, concentrated palate offers steeped prune, licorice, bitter nut and candied notes, but it's dominated by scorching alcohol and a backbone of grippy, close-grained tannins. Give the aggressive tannins a few more years to unclench, then drink sooner rather than later before the remaining fruit dries out. Fans of sheer muscle will be into this, while fans of finesse and balance not so much. Kerin O'Keefe"

"Glänzendes, sattes Rubin. Kompakte Nase mit Noten nach Heidelbeere und Zwetschken, dazu leicht harzige Komponenten. Breitet sich am Gaumen mächtig aus, hat gewiss sehr viel dichtes Tannin, dazu aber auch die Fülle und reife Frucht, um das Ganze zu integrierten, strömt lange dahin, im Finale etwas Zimt."

"Floreale a primo impatto si articola con note di fiori rossi, fiori di ibisco e gelsomino. Corpo medio-pieno, tannini leggermente rustici e al momento ancora rigidi ed un finale solido e compatto. Meglio dal 2022."

"Aromas of baked plum, purple flowers, exotic spices and French oak form the nose on this full-bodied red. The firmly structured palate shows focus and finesse, delivering ripe black cherry, spiced blueberry, licorice and tobacco alongside tightly knit, fine-grained tannins that leave a rather drying finish. Give it time to fully develop. Drink 2023-2035. Kerin O'Keefe"

"Enticing and earthy, this opens with compelling aromas of truffle, tobacco, black-skinned fruit, menthol and a whiff of blue flower. The palate is both structured and elegant, delivering dried morello cherry, prune and pipe tobacco framed in taut fine-grained tannins that give it a firm velvety texture. It's still tightly wound and needs time. Drink 2022-2032."

"Plum, dark berry and baking-spice aromas slowly emerge on this full-bodied red. The taut spicy palate offers sour cherry, dried blackberry, ground clove and licorice set against a backbone of assertive but fine-grained tannins. It's still young and primary. Drink after 2025."

"Dark garnet with faint bricking. Racy nose of fine spices, Havana cigar, coconut and floral presence. Powerful, profound, robust palate with full-on spice expression, a substantial structure and a herbal finish. A beautiful wine for game that is taking its time."

"Dark garnet, still in its youth. Racy nose of plum, fig, liquorice, mild spice and a vanilla note. Dense, concentrated, fine-grained palate supported by a substantial structure. The mid-palate veers towards vegetal presence. An ambitious, still adolescent wine."

"Aromas of black cherry marinated in spirits, leather, underbrush, licorice and black pepper unfold in the glass of this sleek, powerfully structured wine. The glossy palate doles out mature black plum, blackberry, clove, nutmeg, grilled herb and mocha while a licorice note closes the lingering finish. It's still young and tightly wound with an assertive, tannic backbone. Drink 2018-2030."

"This wine deserves its lofty reputation as one of Italy's premier bottlings. It opens with a gorgeous fragrance of berry, leather, truffle and spice. The palate delivers ripe and delicious black cherry, black berry, white pepper and chocolate notes accompanied by firm but refined tannins. This will age beautifully and develop complexity for decades. Drink 2016-2028."

"Deep ruby. Generous, open nose suggestive of cherries in brandy, peppermint and a touch of tobacco. Expressive palate with precise proportions supported by a melted tannin structure. Slightly firmer finish suffused with pepper."

"One of the top, if not the top, red wines from Umbria. The naturally tannic Sagrantino grape is softened by the careful oak aging that adds layers of chocolate and spice to the grape's aromas of black cherry, tobacco and leather. This is bold, powerful, masculine and velvety on the finish. Pair it with stewed or grilled meat marinated in rosemary and garlic. Age this in a cellar for 10 years or longer."

"Vintner Marco Caprai is the man who has tamed the tannic, unruly beast that is Sagrantino. Having carefully aged for two years in oak, this has become deeply elegant and sophisticated. Aromas of chocolate, exotic spice, dark berry, leather, tobacco and dried prune leave a lasting impression. Age for 10 years or more."

"Sattes, undurchdringliches Rubinviolett; intensive und vielfältige Nase mit Noten nach Tabak, etwas Haselnüsse, dann viel Brombeere und Zwetschke; kleidet den Gaumen satt aus, viel festes Tannin, im Kern weich, beschreibt einen schönen Bogen, wirkt derzeit noch extrem jung, zum Weglegen."

"Not a wine you will easily forget. Marketing-savvy Marco Caprai has taken a difficult, little-known variety and turned it into an international superstar. A made-to-please wine--meaning all nuts and bolts are screwed tight in terms of color, aromatics and structure--it has tar, coffee, leather and velvety fullness in the mouth. Imported by Villa Italia."

"This might be the quintessential Sagrantino. It's jammed full of tobacco, cola, plum and blackberry aromas. Nothing disappoints after that; the palate is a blast of black fruit and cherry, while the finish hits squarely with rock-hard tannins as well as a delicious buttery oak note. Hold for more than five years for best results."

"Wonderful aromas are of cedar, earth and leather. The flavors are intense black plums and dark chocolate. The tannins are huge but the fruit and complexity will still be there when they soften. This wine needs some time: drink 2005-2015. Cellar Selection. --C.S."

"Still a very inky and youthful core with a garnet rim. Intense and complex nose packed with violet, tobacco, smoke, blackberry, cherry, some balsamic notes and new oak. There´s a fine balance on the palate despite very intense tannin, good degree of polish thus the tannins contribute with a good sense of freshness. Inky and dark fruit flavours black cherry, cassis, a peppery spiciness on the finish and tremendously long finish. Superb potential here but ideally another 5+ years in the cellar."

"Dark ruby with a lighter rim. Pure nose with layered dark fruit, cherry, plum, tobacco and fine wood. The palate is nicely rounded even if there is a wealth of fine tannin, elegant dark fruit, spicy notes of wild herbs, tobacco, well integrated wood and a long lingering finish, reaching drinkability even if the structure guarantees a long future."
