95 points James Suckling: "Aromas of cedar, salted caramel, fresh flowers, and cherries follow through to a medium body with ultra-fine tannins that integrate beautifully into the wine. Hints of wood at the end, but finishes beautifully. Drink or hold. (7/10/23)"
95 points Falstaff Guide: "Bright ruby red colour with a sparkling core. Candied cherry, orange, some pomegranate on the nose, fine leather savouriness, tobacco, fine wood and graphite on the finish. Very powerful on the palate, with good length and tension, keeps coming back. (Oct 2025)"
94 points Danielle Callegari (Wine Enthusiast): "The nose is solar and wild, with aromas of warm tar and brick dust, then Bing cherries and blood orange, then packed dirt, crushed sage and wild fennel, rolling onto a round and lush palate of strawberries, cherries, bitter orange and wild herbs. A streak of acidity and a growing peppery heat on the back palate linger through an enduring finish. Alcohol 14.5%. (Nov 2023)"
92 points Monica Larner (Wine Advocate): "Il Borro’s 2019 Valdarno di Sopra Sangiovese Vigna Polissena sees 30 days of fermentation and is aged in neutral barrique for 18 months. Starting with the upcoming 2021 vintage, this wine will be aged in large oak casks instead. It offers a silky and gentle character with very direct fruit that is softened by oak spice. A pretty note of minerality seals the deal. Drink: 2023-2027. (3/21/24)"
