Talenti Brunello di Montalcino 2021

95 points Eric Guido (Vinous): "The 2021 Brunello di Montalcino is darkly perfumed, evolving with nuances of dried rose, sage, cedar shavings and balsamic-tinged black cherries. It is beautifully balanced with silken depths of ripe red and blue fruits elevated by cooling acidity and a slightly spicy twang toward the close. The sweetest tannins imaginable frame the finish as this tapers off structured and long yet still perfumed and pleasurable. There's a lovely harmony here that keeps me coming back to the glass, even as the 2021 requires extensive cellaring. Drink: 2028-2046. (Nov 2025)"

94 points Kerin O'Keefe: "Forest floor, violet, Mediterranean brush and spice aromas come to the forefront along with a whiff of leather. Linear and elegantly structured, the full-bodied, linear palate features ripe Morello cherry, blackberry, graphite and star anise before closing on an orange zest note. It’s still youthfully austere, with firm, fine-grained tannins and bright acidity. Drink: 2039–2039. Abv: 14.5%. (Nov 2025)"

16.5/20 points Walter Speller (JancisRobinson.com): "Just mid ruby with orange tinges. A little stalky and sour on the nose and in need of lots of aeration before it opens up to shy, perfumed cherry. On the palate, lots of sour red fruit and powdery tannins. Embryonic but with a long, subtle cherry length. This needs more time to unfurl. Drink: 2027-2036. (Dec 2025)"
