92 points Wine Enthusiast: "This is lighter and more elegant than the two crus—a practiced stylistic difference. Cherry blossoms come through here, accented by cinnamon, and showing great intensity without excess weight. Spice and delicate herbal notes mark the long finish. Drink or cellar." (12/31/2006) 91 points Wine Spectator: "An elegant, mineral-driven Amarone, with rich, dark color and lots of dried cherry, berry and mineral aromas and flavors. Full-bodied, with well-integrated tannins and a long finish. Best after 2007." (04/07)
