97 points Wine Spectator: "[$83 list] Notable for its pure cherry and kirsch aromas and flavors, this red is also stylish and graceful. Rose, wild thyme and stony mineral elements come into play as this develops on the palate. Beautifully integrated, fresh and firm, this glides to a long, resonant aftertaste. Best from 2026 through 2042. (3/27/24)"
97 points Luca Gardini: "The result of thirty years of research and selection of the most suitable plots, is a compact Brunello, notes of marasca on the nose, with touches of wild mint and hints of soy. Briny-taut mouthfeel, tannins perfectly integrated into the body and long persistence. (Oct 2023)"
95 points Eric Guido (Vinous): "Darkly alluring and spicy, the 2019 Brunello di Montalcino emanates from the glass with an earthy blend of crushed rocks, savory herbs, spiced blood orange and dried cherries. This soothes the palate with its soft textures and depths of wild berry fruit. Brisk acidity and mineral tones add lift but also depth. The 2019 finishes dramatically long and structured, turning youthfully inward on itself as orange and rosy inner florals resonate. The house style is on full display here, elevated by the radiant fruits of the 2019 vintage. Drink: 2026-2038. (Dec 2023)"
94 points Monica Larner (Wine Advocate): "[$83 list] The 2019 Brunello di Montalcino opens to dried cassis and cranberry, and there is a hint of something floral and fragile, like crushed red rose petals or potpourri. However, the wine also shows growing momentum, especially as it opens in the glass and you start to recognize dark spice, clove, bay leaf and thyme. There is a point of sweetness on the mid-palate, even some dried raspberry, rendering an overall more accessible wine. Compared to the brilliant fruit in the Filo di Seta, this village wine has drier notes with hints of daisy greens and dried currant. Drink: 2025-2042. (12/14/23)"
93 points Audrey Frick (JebDunnuck.com): "The dark red/ruby 2019 Brunello Di Montalcino displays a roasty and layered profile with notes of stewed red plum, cedar, baking spice, and charred rosemary. Medium to full bodied, it’s giving on the palate, with a supple and savory tone, sweet tannins, and a snap of tangy tea leaf on the finish. It’s another brooding wine, but it feels more giving to drinking now. Drink it over the next 10 years. Drink: 2024-2034. (2/28/24)"
93 points James Suckling: "Polished and refined wine with aromas of wild strawberries, dark cherries and violets. Rich and full-bodied with balanced, soft acidity. Firm and fine-grained tannins. Energetic. Better after 2027. (9/25/23)"
