Italian Wine Report (92)- "A blend of 60% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Cabernet Franc; matured in 60% new barriques, 40% used barriques. Bright, medium deep ruby red; aromas of black currant, black cherry and lavender. Medium-full with a layered mid-palate, this has very good acidity, excellent ripeness, impressive persistence and well-integrated wood notes. Notable complexity and typicity; enjoy over the next 5-7 years."
Wine Advocate (91)- "A blend of mostly Merlot with smaller parts Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, the Ronco dei Tassi 2015 Collio Rosso Riserva Cjarandon boasts a deep, dark color and concentrated aromas of black fruit and plum. The backbone of the wine is quite acidic and not particularly thick or fleshy. In the end, this wine delivers lots of pointed power and focus over a lean-bodied mouthfeel with freshness and herbal notes on the close. Pair it with a fatty meat, such as a typical Italian holiday dish of cotechino sausage and lentils. Exactly 5,938 numbered bottles and 300 magnums were released. I tasted bottle number 3,032."
