94 Points. "The 2003 Cepparello (100% Sangiovese aged in French oak, 1/3 new) opens with an intense nose of very ripe fruit and sweet toasted oak. Round and supple on the palate, it presents terrific balance in its expression of the hot vintage while preserving a surprising amount of freshness. It may not quite have the finesse of the 2004, but that is really splitting hairs at this high level of achievement. It is an awesome effort from the inspired Paolo De Marchi. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2018." Wine Advocate # 171, Jun 2007

The 2000 Cabernet Sauvignon Art Series is excellent, possibly outstanding. Its deep ruby/purple-tinged color is followed by a spicy, cedary perfume revealing hints of white chocolate, subtle wood, and earth. Medium to full-bodied, restrained, and elegant, with supple tannin, it does not possess the length or richness of the exceptional 1999, but it is well-made and pure. It should drink well for 10-12 years. Wine Advocate # 155,Oct 2004
