"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

"This Rhône-inspired Italian blend sees Syrah and Grenache from the Southern side of Coastal Tuscany. The 2013 Tinata is a lovely wine with bright berry fruit that is expressed with vigor and intensity. This wine is especially opulent and full-bodied. Soft layers of black fruit are backed by exotic spice and cured meat. The finish is richly textured and generous with soft tannins." Robert Parker

"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

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."

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

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
