93 points/"Editors' Choice" Wine Enthusiast: "This wine holds its story close as if it's waiting for just the right moment to reveal its secrets. Subtle aromas of wild fruits, dried herbs and the intriguing aroma of cola nut mingle with hints of licorice. On the palate, it's a satisfying chewiness that gives the wine a richness to hold the dark-cherry notes and black-tea flavors. The fresh acidity adds a lively touch, promising that this wine has the stamina to age beautifully over time. Drink now–2045. (Oct 2024)"
93 points Monica Larner (Wine Advocate): "Elegant and precise, the Cantina del Pino 2020 Barbaresco brings lots of freshness and a charming view of young Nebbiolo fruit. This vintage tends to be more accessible overall, but you are nonetheless awarded with the subtle nuances and complexity that characterize this variety. There is tart cassis, violet and earthy licorice root. Drink 2026-2039 (Jan 2025)"
92 points Kerin O'Keefe: "Linear and lovely, the 2020 Cantina del Pino has pretty aromas of red forest berry, eucalyptus, dog rose leather and brown exotic spice. The luminous, lightly-hued and already accessible palate has an ethereal elegance and features wild strawberry, cranberry, white pepper and black tea alongside taut, fine-grained tannins. A bitter orange note signals the finish. Drink through 2029. (May 2024)"
91 points Ian D'Agata Wine Review: "Deep red. Forest floor, camphor and dark red cherry on the expressive nose. Big broad and savoury, with hints of smoked beef, broth and salted plum. Finishes long and clean. Drinking window: 2027-34. (Oct 2024)"
