90 Matt Walls - Decanter

Good sense of depth and weight on the palate, this has a firm juicy tannic base from which to build some solid, unctuous blackberry fruit. Good length and depth, well-balanced acidity and no excess alcohol.

A ripe, juicy wine with fine tannins, this is developing well. Promise lies in the juicy black fruits allied to acidity and just the right amount of wood aging. Drink this stylish wine from 2025. — Roger Voss

91 Wine Spectator

A polished and frankly toasty style, with a cocoa note draped over a core of plum sauce and steeped black cherry fruit flavors. Long and fine-grained through the finish, with a melted licorice element checking in along the way. For the fruit-loving crowd. Drink now through 2032. 11,000 cases made.

"The 2018 Brunello di Montalcino (with 20,000 bottles produced) has mild intensity and reaches a good point of balance. There is ripe plum and blackberry fruit, but background aromas of toasted spice, grilled herb and crushed stone add more dimension. I rather like those playful accents of dried mint and cherry cola. The fruit is on the dry side, but there is some nice primary intensity to behold."

This has a spicy and slightly earthy character with dark cherries and plums as well as walnut and dark licorice undertones. Medium- to full-bodied with dense meaty structure and velvety tannins. Succulent and tense with a dark-fruited, long finish. Drink or hold.

The 2021 Pinot Noir Twilight has a darker edge in its blackberry and darker fruits as well as notes of black tea, peppery herbs, and a kiss of earthy minerality. Medium-bodied on the palate, with good acidity and a focusing spine of both acidity and tannins, this beauty will benefit from a year or two and shine through 2031.

Extremely aromatic with a cherry and floral character. Umami. Minerally. Flavorful and racy. White pepper. Cloves. From the owner of Napa’s Hundred Acre winery. Drink or hold.

The 2015 Lessona Riserva Vigna Cova is one of the very best wines I have tasted from Proprietà Sperino. It embodies everything Lessona and Alto Piemonte can be. The aromatics alone are simply beguiling. But the 2015 has plenty of textural depth and body too. Constantly changing in the glass, the 2015 will take readers on a fabulous ride. Superb.

95 Decanter

When first tasted from barrel in 2018, this single-vineyard wine showed more tension and tautness than the regular Lessona. Four years on, it has become denser and less floral on the nose but the attack remains intense and assertive, with insistent tannins and ample grip without any suggestion of toughness. Impressive length.

97 Robert Parker - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

"When tasting young vintage ports, Taylor is always the most backward. Yet potentially, it has the capability to be the most majestic. This classically made, opaque purple-colored wine is crammed with black fruits (blueberries and cassis). It reveals high tannin and a reserved style, but it is enormously constituted with massive body, a formidable mid-palate, and exceptional length. It is a young, rich, powerful Taylor that will require 10-15 years of aging. Compared to the more flashy, forward style of the 1992, the 1994 has more in common with such vintages as 1977 and 1970. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2045. "
