93WE,91WS,90RP, "Intense aromas of raisins, currants, fresh herbs and minerals follow through to a full-bodied, silky palate, almost off-dry, with a good concentration of dates and a long finish of dried fruit. Best after 2005. 500 cases made.” 90RP, "What this producer is capable of in a more favorable year is shown by the 2000 Valpolicella Superiore TB, warm and lightly jammy in aroma, full, round, and sustained on the palate, a Valpolicella with, unusually, seven or eight years of life ahead of it."  93WE, "Opulent, harmonious and confident in its typicity, this Amarone’s pretty nose is bolstered by dried red currant berries, tea leaf, coffee and chocolate nuances. It imparts ripe fruit flavors and noticeable sweetness in the mouth and also delivers clean freshness and firm structure.”
