95 points James Suckling: "Darker fruit on the nose with walnut, spice box, incense and espresso bean, too. Medium-bodied, firm and structured with polished tannins and a creamy, compact mid-palate. Quality dark oak spice throughout. Long and rich. Better from 2024. (7/14/22)"

94 points Falstaff Guide

92 points Kerin O'Keefe: "French oak, ripe dark-skinned fruit and coconut aromas follow over to the medium-bodied, linear palate along with blood orange, coffee bean and vanilla. Fine-grained tannins and fresh acidity provide the framework and balance. 13.5% abv. (Dec 2022)"

91 points Decanter: "Rancia is Fèlsina’s 6.25ha vineyard. It looks southwest toward the region of Montalcino and is bathed in balmy breezes from the sea beyond. The soil is rocky - prominently limestone-rich Alberese with Galestro marl. The 2019 transmits all the warmth of the site at a remarkably balanced 13.5% alcohol. Still wrapped up in toasted oak, it takes some coaxing to get to the ripe, rich prune and baked cherry. Lush and full, it effortlessly soaks up its solid structure and generous wood. Leather, anise and iron lace the palate and it closes with a drying sensation. Another year or so in the bottle is recommended. Drinking Window: 2024-2032. (Mar 2022)"
