James Suckling (92)- "Rich, dark-fruited character with spicy and earthy undertones. Medium- to full-bodied, structured and wide on the palate, with layers of velvety tannins and a deep core of fruit. Good concentration and volume. Lingering finish. Drink or hold."
James Suckling (92)- "An attractive and focused colorino with sliced cherry, watermelon and orange peel aromas and flavors. Medium body. Firm tannins and a crisp finish. Drink now."
Wine Advocate (90)- "The 2008 Il Colorino di Casanova comes across as quite rich and dark in its wild cherries, tobacco, smoke and worn-in leather. This shows excellent balance in a brooding, yet mid-weight style. "
