94 points James Suckling: "A ripe, rich red with dried-berry, blackberry and chocolate aromas and flavors. Full body, round tannins and a savory finish. Excellent line of fresh acidity. Focused. Drink or hold. (2/14/16)"
93+ points Monica Larner (Wine Advocate): "Renieri always delivers thickly extracted wines that boast their own distinctive style. The 2011 Brunello di Montalcino is no exception. This is a beautiful effort. Dark cherry, plum and blackberry find excellent integration with dark spice, smoke, licorice and Spanish cedar. The bouquet is articulate and complex with thick layers that peel back one at a time. This Brunello shows a tight and structured mouthfeel with fresh acidity and a long-lasting, silky texture. Drink: 2017-2028. (Mar 2016)"
93 points Wine Spectator: "Tightly wound, this Brunello is packed with cherry, strawberry, floral and salty, minerally flavors. This is well made, with ripeness midpalate and a lingering, succulent finish that echoes fruit, mineral and spice details. Best from 2018 through 2029. (6/15/16)"
91 points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "A powerful, authoritative wine, Renieri's 2011 Brunello di Montalcino possesses terrific depth and overall intensity. Sweet red cherries, mint and dried herbs open up first, followed by expressive floral notes that add attractive aromatic overtones as the wine continues to open up. The 2011 is both deep yet also medium in body, with a layered feel that only adds to its considerable appeal. This is a strong showing from Renieri and proprietor Marco Bacci. Drink: 2016-2026. (Feb 2016)"
