Notes:
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, July 2008The 2004 Carbonaione is another animal entirely. It bursts from the glass with layers of deeply spiced, mentholated fruit. Sweet and expansive on the palate, this powerful, dense wine offers superb balance. Today the tannins are somewhat imposing, so further bottle age seems prudent. The 2004 is one of the finest in a series of distinguished wines from Vittorio and Jurij Fiore. This is an especially elegant and graceful Carbonaione.94 points.
Wine Spectator, October 2007
Balanced and very beautiful, with plum, blackberry and grilled meat character. Full and pure, with silky tannins and a long finish. Caressing and refined, but needs a good amount of bottle age. Best after 2009. 2,500 cases made. 92 points.
