Critic Reviews
Wine Spectator
93 Points
93 Points, Alison Napjus, Wine Spectator: "Dense and tightly meshed, with taut, chalky tannins and a racy streak of minerality married to flavors of dried black cherry, medicinal herbs, orange peel and milled pepper. Reveals savory hints of tobacco and smoke that push through and linger on the persistent finish. Let this open in the glass or decant for full enjoyment. Drink now through 2031. 1,050 cases made, 150 cases imported." 04/24
James Suckling

93 Points, James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com: "Game, smoke, earth, strawberries and bright licorice root depth. The attack is soft and elegant, with silky tannins and refreshing acidity. A chewy, vivid finish. Drink or hold." 07/24

94 Points, Antonio Galloni, Vinous: "Deceptive in its medium-bodied feel, the 2016 Valtellina Superiore Grumello Riserva Buon Consiglio is beguiling. Sweet floral overtones are immediately alluring. Red cherry fruit, orange peel, mint and sage soar into the pliant, silky finish. This is a very complete wine. There's so much to admire." 02/26
