"This is full-bodied and well balanced with good red-cherry fruit and a decent dose of riserva-style oak. Nicely structured, but the fruit a lacks a little of the vibrancy that would create better balance. It,s a little oaky and dry at the end. Give it a year or two to soften."

"The 2017 Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Madonna della Querce lifts up with a rich, smokey and slightly exotic display, with crushed cherries giving way to sweet herbs and tobacco. It,s silky and pliant. Salty minerals add pleasurable traction, creating a cascading feel to its ripe red and black fruits, as a laser beam of acidity keeps it all in check. There,s such intensity here, yet the tannins frame it well. This tamed beast of a wine needs a couple of years of cellaring to come fully into focus."

"Mid to deep ruby. Lifted and a little heady on the nose with rich but not sweet cherry fruit. Polished, rich cherry and damson fruit with a big layer of slightly bitter, sandy tannins underneath. Definitely needs food to shine. (WS)"
