Suckling:
"There’s a purity and beauty to this that impresses you the minute you put your nose in the glass. So aromatic. Flowers, graphite, blackcurrants and hints of gunmetal. Medium- to full-bodied with tannins that coat your mouth but give a feeling of fine cashmere. The length and intensity is calm but rather endless. 45% merlot, 40% cabernet sauvignon,10% cabernet franc and 5% petit verdot." 99 Punkte

Falstaff:
"Sattes, dunkles Rubinrot mit violetten Reflexen. In der Nase sehr ansprechender und vielschichtiger Duft nach eingelegten Kirschen, Brombeeren und Holunderbeeren, Bitterschokolade und Macchia. Am Gaumen sehr dicht und ausgewogen mit gut eingebautem Tannin und sehr langem, saftigem Finale, auf Frucht endend." 97 Punkte

Decanter:
"Oreno has transformed from a wine based on 50% Sangiovese in 2008 to a wine which completely omits the Tuscan varietal in favour of an international blend. In 2022, the percentage of Petit Verdot tops out at 15% – around 5% more than normal – because the hot and dry vintage resulted in very good quality berries of the minor Bordeaux variety. Is it better than the 2021? Tasting both together, the 2021 is richer and sturdier, while 2022 is more immediately accessible: pure, ripe and intense, it displays vibrant red and black berries along with a streak of balsamic herbs and tangy pomegranate. It has wonderful verticality, with a soft and fleshy core and super-fresh edges, supported by sweet, grippy tannins and some creamy wood. Aged in light- and medium-toast barriques, I'm told the proportion of new oak is being reduced." 95 Punkte
