Fantastic depth of fruit and mouthfeel to this red with blackberries, blueberries, spices, walnuts and fresh herb character. Orange peel, too. Full body, round and savory tannins and a mouth watering finish. A blend of sangivoese and merlot. Easily the best Siepi ever, and it celebrates 20 years of production. Drink or hold.-James Suckling
Sparkling, dark ruby with a slight garnet shimmer. Very fragrant and appealing nose, of dark cherries, wild raspberries and black truffles, with some cedar wood in the background. Fresh and juicy on the palate, shows very good tension, full of dark cherries and blackberries, unfolds with fine-meshed tannins, very precise, fine melting accompanies the wine into the long finish, only at the beginning of a first ripeness.-Falstaff
Scented, even a hint of lavender, so dry and so fine. Dark fruited and extremely elegant. Real finesse already and a dusty, mineral quality that adds to that effect. Nevertheless there is a juicy freshness. Nothing flashy about this. It gets sweeter-fruited and softer with time in the glass and overall it seems to be marked more by the Sangiovese than by the Merlot.-Julia Harding MW, JancisRobinson
