“93 rating ... still drinking beautifully at age twenty-three. The bouquet offers up a deep and mature blend of baked peach, orange peel, beeswax, lovely notes of browned butter, soil salinity and hazelnuts. On the palate the wine is pure, full-bodied and still plenty vibrant ... a classic vintage of Colle Gaio ... will continue to cruise along for at least another twelve to fifteen years! Fine, fine juice. 2017-2030+.”

“17.5/20 ... Brilliant intense deep straw yellow. Waxy, spiced orange and bread-crust nose. Minerally waxy fruit palate with a hint of kerosene. Chewy, smoky orange and peach finish. Really opens up in the glass. Beautiful development. (Drink between 1998-2026)”
