Great CC Riserva. Crunchy red fruit, great structure, oak has integrated nicely. Beautiful, long finish. Highly recommended, especially considering the relatively modest price tag.

Sour cherry, leafy and earthy. Strong oak. Crisp in the mouth, powerful fruit acid and slightly green tannin. Needs more time to allow the oak to settle: very good.

I think it’s flawed. Weak on the nose. The wine is probably to old which is strange for a Riserva. Though there is dark cherries with medium acid and riserva tamed medium tannins/+. But no real freshness and complexity. More a sweet note from the oak which seems a bit clumpy.

This is gorgeous. Bright, focused and clean, with cherries, star anise, tea leaves. Nicely balanced throughout, purity of fruit, fresh & lean. Opened the night before, no decant, this will age gracefully. There is charm now, but better from 2023 on. - (from 'Le Clos' Dubai airport-£25 C-19 quarantine)
