94 points James Suckling: "A very pure and beautiful red with cherry and strawberry. Subtle spice, such as nutmeg and cedar. Orange peel, too. Medium to full body. Firm, silky tannins melt nicely into the wine. Fresh and clean finish. A little tight at the end. A beautiful single-vineyard Chianti Rufina with structure. Drinkable now, but better after 2023, when it will have softened a little. (10/5/21)"

91 points Wine Spectator: "Savory, balsamic aromas and flavors of wild herbs and Tuscan scrub are a nice foil for the ripe cherry and macerated plum fruit in this expressive red, which is balanced and lively on the long finish. Drink now through 2028. (11/30/21)"

Two Glasses, Gambero Rosso: "The Chianti Rufina Riserva Vigneto Bucerchiale '18 performed at very high levels. Its bouquet is captivating, with haematic notes combining with hints of undergrowth and cherry, touching on gentle hints of mint and bay leaf as well. The palate is wonderful, masterfully balancing tannins and alcohol, revealing a well-sustained acid freshness and an extraordinary persistence. (2022)"
