Wine Enthusiast: 93 Points

"New leather ripe black plum carob baking spice and balsamic aromas jump out of the glass. The round full-bodied palate delivers mouthfuls of black cherry blackberry licorice and coffee set against a backbone of velvety tannins that lend a smooth polished nuance to the firm structure. Drink through 2022."

Wine Advocate: 92 Points

"This is one of the most interesting wines to be released from Cantine del Notaio. The 2012 Aglianico del Vulture la Firma presents the fullness and the generosity of the hot vintage next to the stylistic elegance that characterizes the house wines. The bouquet is rounded and complete with dark fruit that is enhanced by oak spice volcanic mineral and black licorice or tar. A common theme of this vintage is a thinner mouthfeel and you do experience that here."

Vinous: 92 Points

"Moderately saturated red-ruby. The graceful nose combines red cherry tobacco marzipan menthol and minerals. Boasts lovely energy and mineral lift to the flavors of sweet red cherry black plum and spices. Showcases lovely acid-sugar-tannin balance on the long very smooth finish. Less tannic and bitter but also less savory than the 2011." Ian D'Agata
