95+ points Antonio Galloni (Wine Advocate): " The 2007 Flaccianello della Pieve captures the essence of this great Tuscan vintage. It is a decidedly sexy, opulent wine bursting at the seams with rich red berries, mint and spices. The tannins are present but virtually undetectable under layer after layer of fruit. There is no question the 2007 is seamless, opulent and full-bodied. Readers who prefer more structured wines will gravitate to vintages such as 2001 and 2004. I find the 2007 utterly irresistible. It will also drink better earlier than some of the most classic vintages. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2027. (Jun 2012)"
'Top 100 Wines of 2010 (#8)' and 95 points Wine Spectator: " A generous Sangiovese, with loads of blackberry, dark cherry and berry on the nose and palate. Full, long and chewy. The new wood could stand to have a little less barley flavor, but the fruit is fabulous. Takes off on the finish. Gorgeous. Best after 2012. (10/31/10)"
95 points James Suckling: "Lots of ripe fruit with a smoky, meaty, bacon, and cherry character -- even dried mango and other fruits. Full and round tannins with bright acidity and an intense finish. Loads going on here. New wood is a little overpowering now but will come around wonderfully. Give it three to four years of bottle age still. (8/22/11)"
Three Glasses, Gambero Rosso: "The house Supertuscan, Flaccianello della Pieve '07, from a selection of the estate's best sangiovese, is superlative, presenting warmly powerful and richly concentrated. The nose is a triumph of red and black berry fruit in a medley of Mediterranean scrub, coffee and chocolate while the palate has lots of body, although it will need time to expand and reach its peak. (2011)"
Wall Street Journal: "One of the finest wines of Toscana...characterized by fruity notes, but also leather and hide...notes of pepper and pipe tobacco on the finish. (11/20/10)"
