95 ponts Ian D'Agata (Vinous): "Good full red. Wonderfully clean, enticing aromas of red cherry, minerals, white pepper, aromatic herbs and smoke. Sappy and densely packed, showing terrific mineral lift to the rich ripe red berry and saline flavors. Bright and focused on the long, slowly building finish. Beautiful wine. Drink: 2024-2036. (Apr 2018)"
92 points Michaela Morris (Decanter): "Previously named Rosildo Pacenti after the original family founder, this estate was established in 1968 when only 20 producers were bottling Brunello. The Riserva, produced in the best years, is given an additional year in botti. There is a sweetness and density to the red plum and cherry fruit, but this is offset by stone, mushroom and mineral nuances and a long savoury finish. The mid-sized, layered tannins are firm and well-balanced. Drinking Window: 2020-2032. (2/16/18)"
92 points Kerin O'Keefe (Wine Enthusiast): "Violet, new leather, truffle and dark baking spice are just some of the aromas you'll find on this full-bodied red. The smooth structured palate doles out juicy Marasca cherry, crushed black raspberry, star anise and a sprinkling of sage set against solid tannins. Drink: 2020–2027. Alcohol 14.5%. (May 2018)"
