Wine Spectator, 96 Points 

"Gorgeous scents of cherry, raspberry, rose hip and white pepper are augmented by leather, tobacco and chalky, mineral flavors in this detailed, complex red, which starts out fresh and inviting, before the dense matrix of tannins puts a lock on the finish. Nonetheless, this has length, harmony and stellar potential." 

Wine Advocate, 95 Points 

"This wine is so pretty. I love the intensity, the licorice and all the little detailing that goes in the greater embroidery of the Tenute Cisa Asinari dei Marchesi di Gresy 2016 Barbaresco Riserva Camp Gros Martinenga. The wine is powerful, yet its texture is almost fragile, with small berry nuances and shadings of ash and smoke. For better or for worse, the tannins are dry at this point." 

Vinous, 94 Points 

"The 2016 Barbaresco Riserva Camp Gros Martinenga shows all the pedigree of this great vintage in its power, breadth and overall intensity. Black cherry, plum, licorice, mocha, lavender and sage give the 2016 its dark, brooding personality. I am quite surprised, in a good way, how integrated the tannins are. The 2016 is a big wine, but it is already very harmonious, The 2016 spent a year in barrel and a year and half in cask." 

Decanter, 90 Points 

"A dry, earthy, and woody wine with cranberry fruits, violets, Rosolio liqueur, Chinese five spice, and an austere, almost bitter finish."
