93 points James Suckling: "Intense aromas of black truffle and sandalwood with cherry and berry undertones. Full-bodied with a tight, chewy palate from the intense tannins. Slightly austere finish. Should come around nicely with bottle age. Drink after 2023. (Dec 2020)"
92 points Kerin O'Keefe (Wine Enthusiast): "Underbrush, violet and red berry aromas take shape in the glass along with a whiff of grilled herb. It's full-bodied and bright, offering tart sour cherry, baking spice and a hint of tobacco set against firm, drying tannins that grip the finish. Drink 2024 through 2031. (Dec 2020)"
91 points Eric Guido (Vinous): "The 2016 Brunello di Montalcino from Lambardi lifts up with a minerally-intense and perfumed display, as white smoke gives way to dusty dried florals, red currants, crushed wild berries and hints of cedar. The textures are silky, energized by brisk acids with cooling herbal tones and notes of black cherry, which creates a fresh expression. A coating of fine tannin lingers under an air of black tea and licorice. This is very well balanced, and a few years in the cellar should reveal even further depths. Drink 2024-2034 (Nov 2020)"
91 points Raffaele Vecchione (WinesCritic.com): "Juicy and pleasurable in the primary profile with bite in the citrusy sectors with notes of pomelo, pink grapefruit and delicate mandarin skin. Medium bodied, light tannins and a classic finale with memories of the true, traditional Brunello of the past. Drink now. (Mar 2021)"
90 points Audrey Frick (JebDunnuck.com): "Lambardi is a small, 7 hectare organically farmed estate with 20-year-old vines. Their 2016 Brunello Di Montalcino is spiced with pine, plum, vanilla yogurt and baked earth. The palate is medium-bodied and noted with fresh cherry, blood orange citrus, and clove, with drying tannins and tangy acidity. Enjoy 2022-2030. (Mar 2021)"
