98 points/'Cellar Selection,' Kerin O'Keefe (Wine Enthusiast): "Drop-dead gorgeous and utterly delicious, this dazzling, fragrant red opens with heady aromas of iris, forest berry, new leather and culinary spice. The elegantly structured, focused palate features juicy red cherry, spiced cranberry, cinnamon and star anise before a savory, almost salty close. Firm, refined tannins provide support while bright acidity keeps it energized and beautifully balanced. Drink: 2026–2038. (Oct 2022)"

95 points Monica Larner (Wine Advocate): "Alex Sanchez makes memorable wines. His Brovia 2018 Barolo Rocche di Castiglione hits close to home, as this vineyard in Castiglione Falletto is especially elegant and well managed. The wine shows pinpoint precision with small berry nuances, wildflower and crushed stone. The mineral signature adds beautiful focus. Drink: 2024-2040. (Aug 2022)"

93 points Falstaff Guide: "Brightening ruby. Shows to be a bit restrained on the nose, delicate raspberry, dark cherry. On the palate hearty and gripping, lots of grippy, unfortunately also slightly rough tannin, still needs much more bottle age. (Jul 2022)"
