Wineboy rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

Wow.... a cellar worthy candidate at a low price. Pleasing juicy spicy fruit along with earth/soil, and oak - all in balance. Solid tannins may make this a little puckering now, but wait til this becomes a beautiful texture up to 5 years from now.

Monique Sosa rated this wine as 87/100 with the following review:

An inky rustic Italian red crafted from Aglianico grapes in the Southern region of Basilicata. This wine pours with loads of plum and spice aromas. Leather, smoke, dark chocolate mocha and black plum flavours dominate the palate with a long earthy finish. Tannins are chewy and prominent against a moderate acidity. I find this wine to be lacking in structure and acidity. Tasted May 2017 by @ sommsosa | bespoketastings.ca
