VivinoRenato Alterio2020-08-28

Decisamente un gran vino, profumi intensi con note di cacao, cuoio, frutta secca, ha un gran corpo ma allo stesso tempo non spigoloso, una persistenza lunga ma delicata

Annata 2015. Sentori di bacca di vaniglia, caffè, cioccolato, legno, vegetale, liquirizia, ciliegia surmatura, viola. In bocca un equilibrio buonissimo, tannini perfetti, acidità viva, buona sapidità. Eccezionale.

Hier kun je niet tegen opboksen. Celestino heeft iets voor elkaar gekregen wat uniek is in de wereld. Een blend van minstens 15 druivenrassen en wauw; dat proef je! Ik ga geen proefnotitie schrijven, puur omdat je dit zelf moet ervaren. Bij voorkeur de 2015 of 2016. Komt dat zien!

Nulla da eccepire, un vino fantastico, un bland assemblato con grande cura da origine ad un vino potente, profumato, persistente e con alcol impercettibile. 5 pieno il mio voto. Il costo non è per tutti

Very complex- soft,more fruit driven than most Italian wines. Red and baked black fruits, hints of licorice, chocolate and cola. Extraordinary wine! Loved it.

Monster blend of grapes. Incredibly complex. Jammy red berries on the nose. Color is plum, opaque. Slightly dry. Oak notes, warm alcohol. Hints of red berry jam.

VivinoMike Wegman2017-03-05

High in acid and tannins, typical for the region. However, the balance and structure over 10 years is remarkable. Has the legs to continue aging. The ripeness of fruit is delectably palatable.

TM thank you for your generous afternoon! This top of line Zyme continues to be a special blend of 15 grapes and mixed into a melting pot of ripe fruits and explosives characteristics in your mouth! What’s wrong with treating yourself once and a while! Grazie CG for the Italian nectar of the Gods!

This is definitely a 5 Stars wine, but you need patience to get there, already drinking beautifully if you can leave it along after opening for 24+ hrs, deep purple burgundy color, nose full of violet, hazelnut, cacao, cigar box, blackberry, black cherry, incense, mocha and blueberry preserve, full body with fine and structured integrated tannin and very well balanced acidity, made with 15 varietals, 30 months in French oak and 24 months bottle aging, full of milk chocolate, espresso, prune, and

Unique wine from the Veneto, Vintage 2011. The wine consists of several white and red grapes. Beautiful deep ruby color. Many different scents on the nose, cherries, plums, leather, spices, wood... On the palate, dry with elegant tannins, acidity is noticeable and enjoyable. Full bodied. Alcohol is well integrated. Multifarious aromas, red fruits, dark fruits, wood, spieces... Long grandiose finish. Has everything a great wine needs! You dont' notice the wine is 10 years old. A wine for the next

VivinoJanne W.2018-03-20

Insanely good and mesmerizing wine. Well-structures and still mysterious in a silky package of cherry, baked spices, mint and perfumed cassis. Tasted at Prowein 2018 with the producer Celestino Gaspari himself. What a pleasure.

VivinoVinchel2019-11-20

Stunning, stunning, stunning. We actually had this as the last wine in our nearly 4 hours dinner with Celestino Gaspari. I have 2008 and don't want to pop as it know it would need time and would only happen in special occasion. 2009 was an absolute beauty; mocha, white pepper, violet, and cedar. A product of 15 grapes (11 red and 4 white varieties). Can you believe that? You know a great complex wine when you tasted one...the finish was so long too.

VivinoFrancesco Gasca2025-07-06

A monumental, ultra-modern red blend crafted only in exceptional vintages. Made from a staggering 15 grape varieties (11 red, 4 white), fermented whole-cluster in concrete and aged 30 months in new French oak, followed by at least 2 years in bottle. Nose: Intense and layered—notes of raisins, dried fig, dark cherry, tobacco, spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves), coconut, balsamic nuance, and forest floor. Palate: Enveloping richness and complexity, velvety tannins, firm structure, and a long finish

At the end of the Veneto November the flagship of Zyme is poured in my glass. Again a cuve of minimum 15 grapes representing a set of typical red and white regional grapes - a blood red color - the aromas overwhelmingly complex roasted coffee, cherry, licorice, herbs, raisins, star anis, vanilla ... But it's not the single fragrance its the incredible composure... - on the palate power, energy, mussels, complexity, harmony, fruity, warming elegance a wine masculine and female perfection at the

Creature made of 17 grape varieties. Complicated & sophisticated nose of fine leather & heavy does of dark Chocolate , raisin , dried cherry On palate can sense a very heavy body accompanied with high tannin, high acidity, off dry. Perfect pairing with grilled lamb, perfectly utilising its grand structure & heavy weight ! #重量級冠軍🏆 95

VivinoMusa Mhl2017-12-29

Deep red ruby color with a nose that pings different aromatics. In the mouth the 15 varietals are brought into perfect harmony and the extremes of the down market kairos are muted. Tanins are well worked and complexity in red fruits and dryness are encapsulated into the sensory experience. Nutmeg escapes at the tail end. A nice touch from Celestino. It's hard to

And the Oscar goes to: Harlequin from Celestino Gaspari! 6 Stars minimum! What a great assemblage (15 different grapes) in a overwhelming harmony. We had the pleasure to visit the winery zymé in San Floriano and taste all the wines. Not everyone was my cup of tea, but this one beat the universe! Ripe red fruits, chocolate, peppermint and coffee. Earthy finish but like an angel ...Cheers 🍷

Oh la la … Annata 2009. Ogni volta è un piccolo privilegio. Complessità e chaos sublimano diventando leggiadria ed equilibrio. Massa e finezza. Persistenza fiabesca. Continui rimandi di frutta rossa e nera, marasca, lampone e mora. Pellame, canfora, tabacco dolce da pipa, cacao e sottobosco spiccano da una architrave sapido-minerale. Finale eterno. Un vino “tempesta” che termina in quiete armonia e pace. Capolavoro di tecnica e di ingegno.

Habitava minha lista de desejos há algum tempo. Miscelânea de cepas das mais diversas, conhecidas e autóctones, neste Superveneto. Cor rubi enegrecido. Maior referência seria um Amarone potente. Amoras negras, ameixas, tabaco, café. Pimenta bem pronunciada. It was in my wish list for a long time. Miscellaneous grapes of the most diverse, known and autochthonous, in this Superveneto. Darkened ruby ​​colour. Greater reference would be a potent Amarone. Blackberries, plums, tobacco, coffee. Pepper

ヴェネチアにて年始に購入 2003 vintage 友人の壮行会にて抜栓 方向性としてボルドーブレンドのスタイルと思われるが、15種類以上のブドウ、白ブドウも使われており、味わいはオーパスと比べてもより複雑みを感じさせる。 しかし、見事にまとまっており驚きを禁じ得ない。 まだまだ熟成できるポテンシャルであったので、もしまた飲める機会があれば試してみたい。

96/100 Outstanding Another great IGT with amazing character. It has some Amarone notes, but also some Bordeaux notes. I would say its style is somewhere between Bordeaux and Napa CabSauv. It's indeed something different and obviously perfect wine

VivinoRobert Z2023-08-15

Produced only in good years. Like Kairos, it consists of no less than 15 grape varieties. For the production of Harlequin only single bushes are selected. And you can see the effects, because the wine is great! Intense, a bit rough, heavily fruity, with oriental notes, a bit of cardamom (?) Longer, spicy and delicate vanilla finsh. Outstanding, meditation wine!!!

WineCup 🍷 🏆 Grandfinals 2024 🇺🇸 vs 🇮🇹 wine 4 of 12. Another of my wishlist wine to try, Zyme’s Harlequin. Got me a bit confused for a while with that high concentration of fruit and that “sweetish-ness”. But after revisiting and before getting too drunk, decided to stick with my initial impression of it being 🇮🇹. Thanks to @[1|3229014|S.M.] for helping to tick this off my wishlist!

My Wine Cup 2024 finals WOTN. This truly lives up to its namesake. It leaps out of the glass with big bold red fruit, plush and enveloping. But then it becomes restrained in the glass, evolving into something classy. It’s like watching Harlequin in the Joker movie. This was the wine I nursed on the side for a good part of the night. I agree with @[1|40151367|Brian L] that this drops offs faster than we would like. So not one of my greatest wines but certainly intriguing.

VivinoS.M.2024-11-04

A huge step up from Kairos. Yay… it better should. Double decanted and then bottle breathed for 8 hrs before dinner. Still kinda tight at the beginning pour. Nose of mixed desiccated fruits, hint of chocolate. A vibrant acidity backbone which doesn’t normally get from other full appassimento wine. Impressively layers and complex.

Annata 2016. Uve di Garganega, Trebbiano toscano, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Syraz, Teroldego, Croatina, Oseleta, Sangiovese, Marzemino. Rosso rubino impenetrabile. Al naso ciliegia, frutti rossi. Al palato è avvolgente, si sentono le spezie, la cannella. Persistente ma comunque morbido dal tannino integrato.

Al naso si può cogliere la particolare complessità di questo vino (che potenzialmente può cambiare non in modo banale di anno in anno) con decise note di confettura di amarena e prugna matura cotta, oltre a buone note di terziari come tabacco, cuoio e cannella. In bocca però, a mio parere, non rispetta ciò che al naso incanta. Molto lungo e persistente con note balsamiche che donano piacevole freschezza ad un vino di per sè caldo. Ottimo vino, ma vado controcorrente: preferisco il “fratello mino

Grapes: 15 mainly local grapes (4 are white!) 30 months in new barrique At nose is fantastic and intense: dark fruit, balsamic notes, redcurrant, honey, white chocolate, dark plum jam. In mouth is soft and rich, pleasant sapidity, silky texture, smooth tannins, great roundness, juicy and fruity, long persistency. Only in some years.... Price is very high!

VivinoBurgundy Addict2016-06-19

More then a wine, this is a kind of elixir... About 15 different grapes come into this blend, with whites too. No need to tell you then that it reaches a mind blowing complexity. You can name virtually all the red fruits that you know, spicy, sweet as it shows some amarone similitude. Surprisingly the varietals are all macerated together, so it is not a blend of finished wines. With a certain link to Quintarelli, it's really something to try at least once, even if varietals and terroir are not

This Veneto IGT is a blend of 15 grapes! 11 red & 4 white: Corvina, Rondinella, Cab Sauv and Franc, Merlot, Syrah, Sangiovese, Teroldego, Trebbiano, Chard, Sauv Blanc plus a couple more. All pressed at the same time after spending up to 40 days in drying trays. Made only in the best vintages & crafted by Bepe Quintarelli‘s son-in-law. Black and red fruit, dried fruits, graphite, minerals, coffee, cloves, cedar, damp forest & sweet tobacco. Dense, concentrated, hugely complex but very focused

@Degustazione in cantina Seconda volta che assaggio questo assemblaggio di 15-16 vitigni. Un vino sicuramente unico nel suo genere, stilisticamente davvero completo: in questa etichetta si incontrano tannino intenso e morbidezza, frutto intenso e acidità, freschezza e complessità. L'unica pecca, assolutamente soggettiva, è che non mi emoziona fino in fondo, e a quel prezzo vorrei stupirmi a ogni sorso.

3,7 Die Weiterentwicklung von Kairos. Noch selektierterer Trauben. Nach der ersten Gärung nach drei Jahren in neuen Barrique, kommt er ein ein weiteres, neues Fass für weitere drei Jahre. Also insg. Sechs Jahre im Barrique. In der Nase super komplex, zt. aber zu Sauer, Spiritus, Citrus, Spülmittel liegen über feinen Beerenaromen. Zum Glück spiegelt sich das im Geschmack nicht wieder. Sehr komplex. Für mich nicht über das Vierfache von Kairos wert. Wegen dem zu hohen Preis 0,5 🌟 Abzug.
