Wine Enthusiast
“Far Niente has produced a tannic, drily astringent young wine that’s nowhere near ready to drink. It’s tough as nails, with a gritty astringency that locks down the black currant and dark, unsweetened chocolate flavors.” (03/2008)
N/A
Jancis Robinson
“Loaded with blueberry, black fruit, spice, dark chocolate and anise character. Solid backbone, refreshing acidy and with slightly dry tannins, it should emerge from adolescence in great shape. Great integration. (LM) 18/20 points” (06/2008)
