Wine Enthusiast, 97 Points  

"All about elegance and energy, this gorgeous Nebbiolo has invigorating scents of Alpine herb, wild red berry, dog rose and smoky flint with a whiff of new leather. Focused and boasting great energy, the vibrant palate delivers wild strawberry, red cherry, tobacco and a saline mineral note set against a backbone of taut, refined tannins. Bright acidity keeps it balanced and youthfully tense. Drink through 2034." 

Vinous, 93 Points 

"The 2009 Valtellina Superiore Grumello Riserva Buon Consiglio is a very pretty wine. Orange peel, sweet tobacco, cinnamon, mint, dried flowers and rose petal give the 2009 striking aromatic nuance and complexity.  Pliant and engaging, with lovely transparency, the 2009 is a terrific wine to drink now and over the next decade or so.  Soft curves and resolving tannins give the 2009 tons of sheer appeal."
