98 points Luca Gardini: "A monumental Great Selection, from pure Sangiovese, from calcareous-marly soils, with a strong presence of Alberese. The aroma has great richness, wild plum and eucalyptus, with notes of barley candy and laurel scents. Savoury sip, with fruity hints and balsamic nuances. (Jun 2024)" 97 points Wine Spectator: "[$95/750ml list] Packed with cherry, raspberry and pomegranate flavors, this red is also succulent and verging on racy in profile. There's a deep vein of mineral and peppery spice notes that intensifies on the extended finish. Shows superb balance and grace, with the best yet to come. Best from 2027 through 2048. (7/31/24)"
96+ points Monica Larner (Wine Advocate): "The Barone Ricasoli 2021 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Gaiole Colledilà opens to dark fruit, but perhaps more significantly, you get a slate-like mineral note that adds focus. That mineral note appears in all these beautiful Gran Selezione wines from vintner Francesco Ricasoli, but in the case of this bottle, it adds a dark or slightly brooding personality. The finish is absolutely savory and salty. (Jul 2024)"
95 points James Suckling: "Fresh and crunchy with orange peel, cherries, raspberries and hints of raw meat. It’s medium-bodied with medium-round tannins and a succulent finish. Polished and creamy. Lightly chewy and crisp at the end. Drink or hold. (5/30/24)"
