94 points Kerin O'Keefe: "The Col d'Orcia 2021 Brunello is a fragrant, full-bodied red that opens with heady scents of violet, new leather, forest floor and ripe wild berry. As the estate lost 40% of its grapes due to frost, they made no single vineyard offerings in 2021 so the best grapes, including those from its lauded Poggio al Vento site went into the classic Brunello and it shows, thanks to its structure, finesse and energy that accompany flavors of wild raspberry, red cherry, blood orange and star anise. Taut, polished tannins offer seamless support while fresh acidity keeps it balanced. Drink 2029–2041. Abv: 14.5%. (Nov 2025)"
94 points Ian D'Agata Wine Review: "Col d’Orcia has made yet another very easy to like classic Brunello, that follows the successful 2020 in approachability and charm. Luminous dark red. Aromas and flavours of red cherry, dark plum, tobacco and licorice. Harmonious acidity nicely extends the juicy flavours on the long, polished back end. Drinking window: 2028-2037. (12/19/25)"
94 points Zekun Shuai (JamesSuckling.com): "A touch of hazelnut chocolate to the ripe plums and cherries, with hints of minerals and dried grapefruit. Structured and bright, with almost full body and a succulent, vertical finish. A lot going on at the end. From organically grown grapes. Drink from 2027. (12/13/25)"
93 points Eric Guido (Vinous): "The 2021 Brunello di Montalcino is youthfully delicate, with nuances of dusty dried cherry, rose petals and licorice. The palate displays round textures and cooling acidity, with ripe red and black fruits beneath an air of inner florals. The long, energetic finish leaves fine-grained tannins and a pleasant chewy concentration. Drink: 2028-2038. (Nov 2025)"
