 I'm not impressed Aug 29, 2009
By J. Carlile
"JC"
I decided to purchase this balsamic after reading a few good reviews.
From what I heard from a few people, I expected much more. This is a watery vinegar and does not cling to your food like the better balsamics. I put a couple drops on some cheese and they instantly rolled off onto the plate. It's also much more sour than I expected. The bottle should have a smaller opening as it drips down the side and pours out too quickly. I'd recommend ripping out the plastic piece and dumping it in a cruet.
It is smooth as some others have said and does not leave a bad aftertaste. I think I'll save this for cooking and dressing rather than drizzling on food. I imagine it would make a good reduction. It does make a decent vinaigrette as I mixed it with olive oil and had a salad for breakfast this morning. You don't need a lot.
It's simply not up to par with better balsamics that work well with eveything. I'm partial to thicker, sweeter balsamics, so take that as you will. If you like thinner, tangier balsamics then this may be for you. I'd consider this more of a recipe ingredient than a condiment.
The Amazon price is also on the high side. You can currently get two bottles of this exact product on eBay for $12.

 Can't beat it in this price range May 18, 2008
By Peter Bellas
This is a wonderfully smooth and pungent balsamic with no hint of the aftertaste that plagues so many products in this price range. This is a superb vinegar easily better that ones priced at two to three times as much. Enjoy!

 false balsamic Nov 20, 2010
By Ernest E. Badolato
Lucini Grand Riserva Balsamico is not real balsamic at all. There is no ingredient list on the label, which makes it suspect immediately. It is far too acidic, and tastes like any cheap vinegar in salad dressing. This is the worst 'cheap' imitation balsamic I have ever tried. The four dollar Trader Joe's 'balsamic' is better than this. At least they have the honesty to put the ingredients on the label.

 Unbelievably balanced great taste Jul 17, 2009
By Brett C. Canfield
I'm historically not a fan of balsamic vinegar. However, this balsamico is balanced and absolutely incredible on grilled vegetables, ice cream and berries. If you have not tried this balsamico I highly recommend it.

ok I guess Aug 23, 2010
By Taokane
I did a head to head compare with this and the Fattoria 10 year old. The Fattoria was sweeter thicker and darker. The Lucini is on the bitter side and very complex. I think it's great for salads or cooking.
