Heiner Lobenberg über:
HAIKU 2009
93–94 /100
Lobenberg: HAIKU ist eine japanische Gedichtsform, die die Magie der Einfachheit hervorhebt. Genau so präsentiert sich dieser Wein: die Prinzipien der Ehrlichkeit, Tiefe, Schlichtheit und Natürlichkeit charaktarisieren HAIKU am ehesten. Er ist das 'Alter Ego' der Riserva von Castello di Ama. Hier, in der unerhörten Feinheit und würzigen Komplexität der Cabernet Franc, definiert Ama das eigene Terroir ganz neu. Schnörkeloser Genuss. 92-94/100

Parker über:
HAIKU
-- Parker: The 2009 Haiku is a new Sangiovese/Cabernet Franc/Merlot blend meant to showcase regional distinctiveness over strict varietal character. Dark red cherries, flowers, mint and spices are some of the notes that flow from the glass, but today the 2009 is quite reticent, especially in the bouquet. Like all of the Ama 2009s, the tannins are quite firm and call for cellaring. The blend is 50% Sangiovese and 50% Cabernet Franc/Merlot. Haiku is a promising wine. The 2009 isn’t hugely differentiated from the Castello di Ama bottling, but readers will see a greater difference beginning with the 2010, which I also tasted. 92/100

WS über:
HAIKU
-- WS: A peppery, iron-infused red, with iron-clad tannins gripping the dried cherry, plum and tea flavors. Finishes with an astringent feel. Think grilled meat. A new cuvée from Castello di Ama. 90/100
