Deep dark cherry red with violet glow at the edge. In the nose aromas of spices such as rosemary and thyme, with fruity notes of blackcurrant and cherry. On the palate blackberry, cherry, fresh plum and cranberry, wonderful cassis note and dark chocolate in the long finish. Modern Tuscan, stylistically rigorous according to French pattern. SUPERIORE.DE

"Blueberries, eldeberries, violets and Chinese spices make for a very pretty nose. Medium body, tightly worked tannins and a deliciously spicy and mineral finish." James Suckling

"Offering a slightly more direct and approachable style, this wine delivers the extra richness and density that you can expect of this beautifully warm and luminous vintage. The fruit is dark and rich with black currant and dried plum, backed by exotic spice and toast." Robert Parker

Bright golden colour, explosive bouquet of quince, honey, wax, granite, blood orange, vanilla, white chocolate and straw. On the palate, initial notes of roasted cashew and almond, followed by fruits such as white peach, pear and citrus fruits. Exciting and very multifaceted. SUPERIORE.DE

"This shows sugar-coated apples, vanilla, spices, lemon curd, dried pineapples, caramelized papaya, cream and pie crust. Full body, medium acidity and layers of fleshy tropical and stone fruit. Finishes long and creamy." James Suckling

"Expansive, ripe and richly textured, the Monteverro 2015 Chardonnay is a full-bodied white that doles out generous and opulent fruit. The wine is creamy, fibrous and succulent with a long range of apricot, tropical fruit, toasted almond and delicate vanilla-like aromas. Half of the assembled blend is aged in French barrique for 14 months and the other half goes into cement eggs. The results are bright, tonic and clear, but the wine maintains that deep inner sense of sunshine and concentration that is characteristic of this warm vintage." Robert Parker

Fresh rose sugar and graphite on the palate, with hints of raspberry, cherry, fresh plum and cranberry. Long in the finish with a hunch of Cassis. SUPERIORE.DE

"Sparkling, rich ruby with a lot of violet shimmer. Memorable, dense nose, lots of dark berries, some pepper, juicy fruit. Very velvety, dense tannins, juicy fruit, exciting and also slightly salty in the background, very juicy." Falstaff

"Brightening wine red; ruby shimmer. Somehow quite slim in the first moment; looks fresh and shows notes of cinnamon and cherries, due to its freshness it has violet tones in the second approach. Direct on the palate, spicy, straight and has a great length." Weinwisser

"Plenty of dried berries, cherries and hints of lemon rind aromas and flavors. Full to medium body, firm tannins and a bright finish. Beautiful Rhone blend as always." James Suckling

"Rich purple. Intense bouquet, showing a lot of classic Rhône components in the nose – between cornas and gigondas, iron blood tones and wild cherries. Thick palate, black peppercorns, crumbly, concentrated extract. He still has a lot of future, but will remain rather masculine because of his brute strength." Weinwisser

"Dark violet color. Aromas of roasted beets, citrus rind and dusty chocolate. Hot stone. Violets. A generous red with lots of fruit. Nicely crafted. Full-bodied." James Suckling

"Dark purple red color with violet hue and black centre. Very opulent character, ripe berry fruit, blackberries and mulberries. Ripe plums, black cherries in the background. Aromatic spices add to the wine's complexity. On the palate opulent with great depth and weight, excellent length, powerful but still with a hint of freshness in the finish. A great wine." Markus del Monego

"Bright and fluid, with black currant, blackberry, vanilla and toast aromas and flavors. Almost racy, showing terrific balance and well-integrated tannins underneath. Features a fine, toasty finish. Syrah and Grenache." Wine Spectator

"This lovely wine offers rich texture and depth with medium to full-bodied layers of dark fruit. Black currant and summer cherry are followed by smoke, spice and chocolate. This warm vintage shows extra concentration and richness." Robert Parker

"Bright purple color in the glass. The nose offers tons of soaked blue fruit, such as blueberries. Lavender perfume, bay leaves, vanilla and cloves, too. Medium to full body with lots of essence-like fruit and a ton of floral and herbal flavors, which carry right through to the long yet mineral finish." James Suckling

Brilliant golden colour, in the full bouquet explosive aromas of quince, honey, wax, granite, blood orange, vanilla, white chocolate and straw. On the palate, initial notes of roasted cashew and almond, followed by fruits such as white peach, pear and citrus fruits. Exciting and very multifaceted. SUPERIORE.DE

"Lovely floral and herbal intensity to this white, including lemon grass, lemon meringue, dried thyme, honeysuckle, apricots and jasmine. Very oily and phenolic, but the full-bodied palate really takes off with subtle citrus character, thanks to the steely acidity on offer." James Suckling

Monteverro - a classic French blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Petit Verdot - is full of opulence and variety. Incredibly rich in aromas of dark fruits, chocolate and spices, softer, full-bodied, polished tannins. The magnificence of this wine cannot be exaggerated. A masterpiece by Michel Rolland. SUPERIORE.DE

"Powerful, luminous ruby with violet shimmer. Compact nose, full-bodied notes of dark currant and blackberry, underlined by notes of rosemary and myrtle, clear and pithy. On the palate powerful and substantial, shows a lot of dark berry fruit, blackberries, elderberries, opens with rich tannin in many layers, very compact, long finish with notes of tobacco, much potential." Falstaff

"Most of the wine (80%) is aged in new French oak for 24 months. Grapes are harvested from clay soil sites and each parcel is vinified separately. This is a beautifully crafted and intense red wine that delivers power, complexity and elegant extraction. Dark fruit folds into spice, leather and tobacco. The palate is slightly thinner and more streamlined in this vintage." Robert Parker

"This is extremely structured and powerful for the vintage with blackcurrant, sweet tobacco and black fruit character. Full body, chewy yet polished tannins and a long and flavorful finish. Needs time to soften a little." James Suckling

"Rich, dark ruby with a black core. A pleasant blend, with notes of macchia herbs, thyme, rosemary and curry, then rich blackberry and dark currant, some chocolate. Builts up on the palate like a peacock, much fine-meshed, dense tannin with firm core, dark berry fruit, fills the palate full, sweet enamel, still looks very young." Falstaff

"The 2015 Monteverro comes out with gangbuster intensity and richness, keeping the wine very much in line with our expectations of this profound and exuberant vintage. This wine is lavishly layered with dark fruit, dried cherry, tar, smoke and exotic spice. Those aromas just jump right out at you, never letting up in intensity or complexity." Robert Parker

"Wow. The nose here is alive with oyster shell, iodine, crushed stones, lavender, freshly picked blackcurrants, licorice and dried sage and thyme. Full-bodied and very deeply flavored, but the tannins are beautifully polished and dialed-in. The juxtaposition between sweet and sour flavors and umami nuances is enough to take anyone’s breath away. Delicious now, but better in 2024." James Suckling
