James Suckling, 93 Points 

"A chewy and rich red with blackberry, blueberry and chocolate aromas and flavors. Full-bodied. Lots of fruit and tannin structure. A little rough-edged now and needs three to four years to soften. Drink after 2025." 

Jeb Dunnuck, 93 Points 

"Layered and rich with aromas of cassis, luxurious oak spice, menthol, and lavender, the 2020 Villa Donoratico is full-bodied and maintains a characteristic soft and silky texture, with a long finish. Offering notes of rich kirsch, plum, and dusty earth, it is opulent, balanced, and a delicious expression for the range. Drink 2024-2034." 

Wine Advocate, 93 Points 

"The 2020 Bolgheri Rosso Villa Donoratico shows ripe fruit and a greater oak presence with spice, tar, tobacco and smoked cedarwood. This full-bodied wine could almost be a Bolgheri Superiore, thanks to the depth, richness and importance of its flavor profile." 

Wine Enthusiast, 93 Points 

"Sanguine, earthy and metallic on the nose, with stones, gunpowder, black plums, blackberries and then a riot of herbs. Chocolate and more berries appears on the palate on top of heat and earth.  Mouth filling and rich, but not overly lush thanks to tannins that form a tight but flexible net around everything." 

Wine Spectator, 90 Points 

"A fruity style, this red is packed with cherry, black currant, iron, tobacco and olive aromas and flavors. Delivers well-integrated tannins and fresh acidity, which keep this focused and frame the finish."
