From the same producer

James Suckling (JS) : 93 Points (2016)

A firm, silky red with dark-berry, chocolate and almond aromas and flavors, as well as dark chocolate. Full to medium body. Chewy tannins and a flavorful finish. Drink or hold.

Robert Parker (RP) : 94 Points (2015)

To be released in the first quarter of 2018, the 2015 Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Asinone is a bright and energetic red wine. This Sangiovese-based red offers volume and richness spread over dark fruit, cherry and blackberry flavors. This was a warm vintage, and you get extra softness, fruitiness and succulence as a result. In the mouth, it shows depth and persistence. The tannins still need a year or two to find optimal integration, so it's worth waiting just a bit longer.

Wine Enthusiast (WE) : 92 Points (2015)

Fragrant woodland berry, blue flower and cake spice aromas mingle with a balsamic menthol note. The concentrated but almost weightless palate offers juicy raspberry, fleshy black cherry, espresso and star anise alongside polished supple tannins. Editors' Choice

Wine Spectator (WS) : 91 Points (2015)

Shy in aroma, this is effusive on the palate, exuding black cherry, blackberry, earth, iron, vanilla and toasty oak flavors. Converges on the dense structure, showing future potential. Best from 2020 through 2032.

Vinous (Antonio Galloni) (VN) : 94 Points (2013)

The 2013 Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Asinone is impeccable. Dark red and bluish-hued notes abound. There is an element of weightlessness to the 2013 that is quite appealing. Lavender, licorice, cloves and mint are some of the nuances that develop in the glass. The 2013 is not a blockbuster, as some previous editions have been, rather it is a wine built on finesse. -- Antonio Galloni
