Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, February 2012

The 2004 Vigna Sere is the perfect conclusion to a vintage that will go down as one of Dal Forno's most magical. Sweet, silky tannins support layers of super-refined, elegant fruit in this magical sweet red. Mocha, espresso, new leather, raspberry jam and spices emerge with time in the glass, but this is really a wine that shows off textural finesse more than anything else. I have tasted this wine many times since it was in barrel and later in bottle. It has never been anything less than spellbinding. It is one of the most magical sweet dessert wines I have ever tasted. At eight years of age the 2004 remains a an infant. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2024. 98+ -Antonio Galloni

Labeled as "air-dried sweet red wine" instead of its traditional name "Recioto," this is indeed a powerful and generous wine. It boasts huge density and superintense aromas of blackberry, oak spice and tobacco. Keep it for your cellar.

A deep note of rich smoke frames flavors of prune, gumdrop, fig paste, coffee liqueur and dried herbs in this balanced, layered dessert wine. The floral- and spice-tinged finish lingers. Drink now through 2015. -AN
