"A precise, silky and juicy gran selezione with volume and brightness. Aromas of forest berries, wild strawberries, warm herbs and baking spices dominate on the nose. It’s medium-bodied with fine tannins and fresh acidity. Vivid and succulent with crunchy berry character. Lively and agile with a harmonious structure and a flavorful; vibrant and long finish."

"Is its usual intense self, with wood-driven notes currently at the fore. Charry oak, vanilla, tobacco and mint surge from the glass, and the palate is equally boisterous. Chocolatey textures collide with resolute, vertical tannins, and dark, concentrated fruit lurks underneath. A particularly virile, powerful rendition that demands time to tame and hopefully show Radda’s brighter side."

"Cherry and strawberry flavors are enhanced by notes of mint, earth, spice and iron in this powerful red, which builds in intensity to the long, oak-tinged finish. All the components are there, just needs time."
