"È fragrante e vivace nel profilo principale e dispensa energia e profondità sensoriale nelle note miste floreali e fruttate. La lavanda e la violetta selvatica si fondono a note di biancospino e miele di acacia. Lo sfondo secondario ricco di grazia ricorda i petali di rosa appassiti ed il cedro in pezzi. Corpo medio, tannini rotondi, integrati e leggermente mordenti che mostrano carattere ed un finale succoso di notevole bevibilità. Delizioso sin da subito ma meglio dal 2021."

"Elitario nel profilo nobile mostra sentori di prugne nere, more e ribes nero. Tanto pepe e rosmarino in sottofondo aumentano la complessità in questo vino espressione autentica mediterranea. La potente eleganza si libera al palato con un corpo pieno, tannini perfettamente maturi, polimerizzati in maniera eccelsa grazie all'eccellente lavoro in vigna ed in cantina ed un finale espressione egregia di pura bellezza per freschezza e gioia gustativa. Eccellente sin da subito sarà un vino che emozionerà dal 2021 in poi. Un vino perfetto, un vino divino."

"Aromas of French oak, coconut, toast and a whiff of menthol follow through to the medium-bodied palate along with sour cherry, raspberry, star anise and clove. Close-grained tannins leave a firm finish. Some may find this too oak-driven but others will find it attractive."

"Aromas suggesting underbrush, toast, ripe plum, dark spice, menthol and Mediterranean herb waft out of the glass. On the bold, polished palate, velvety tannins support juicy Morello cherry, blackberry jam, licorice, coffee and a chocolate note. It's already accessible and will make for fine drinking over the next few years. Drink through 2021."

"Oak, espresso and toast aromas jump out of the glass. The tightly wound palate delivers plum cake, roasted coffee bean, oak extract, licorice, a confectionary note and licorice but not much fruit richness. Raspy wood tannins provide the framework."

"Aromatik mit Noten von Schwarzkirschen und Lakritze. Saftige Textur, vor allem die robusten Gerbstoffe gefallen, endet in einem leckeren Pflaumenfinale. Noch ausbaugeprägt, aber gefällt mit seiner kraftvoll-eleganten Machart."

"Aromas of stewed black fruit, oak, coffee and espresso carry over to the palate along with sour cherry layered with hints of bitter chocolate. It has firm but not very persistent tannins and closes on an astringent, drying note."

"Selektion aus Rebbergen in 400 Metern, 2 Jahre in Tonneaux, zwei Jahre in der Flasche belassen: Verführerische Himbeernase, Zimtnoten; der Ansatz saftig, frisch, gut, die Tannine robust, die Säure spürbar, schönes Fruchtfinale. Dem Wein steht der Brunello Annata - in grossem Holz gereift - kaum nach."

"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Poggio Antico Altero" from the vintage 2008 on 01.01.2013 with 91 of 100 points.
"Altero opens with a dark garnet color and tight fruit aromas of white cherry, pomegranate, cassis and dried raspberry. Supple tones of smoke, leather and tobacco fill out the rear but only play a supporting role. In the mouth, the wine is tight, streamlined and sharp."
