98 points James Suckling: "Amazing aromas of licorice, wet earth, orange peel and lavender. Full body, tight and super compact and polished. Goes on for minutes. Clearly great. Better in 2021, but already a star. (6/16/19)"
96 points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "The 2016 Fontalloro is bold, hearty and deeply flavored, with all of the Sangiovese wildness that is so typical of Fontalloro. Ripe dark cherry, grilled herbs, smoke, leather, game and incense are some of the many aromas and flavors that open up in a potent, virile Fontalloro loaded with personality and character. In so many ways, 2016 is THE archetype of what Fontalloro is - a Sangiovese that is a bit wild and unruly but also full of charm. Drink: 2022-2046. (Aug 2019)"
96 points Falstaff: "Bright ruby with a light garnet rim. Opens with rich notes of cherry and pomegranate, against an earthy backdrop of cinnamon sticks and cloves. Blossoms beautifully on the palate, with ripe cherry fruit, grippy tannins, a soft, sweet core, and firm drive on the finish. (2/14/19)"
