96 points Kerin O'Keefe: "Aromas of lavender, eucalyptus, red berry and tobacco form the nose. A beautiful wine, the palate delivers ripe wild cherry, crushed raspberry, cinnamon and star anise alongside a backbone of velvety tannins. Fresh acidity and spiced orange peel lift the finish. Balance. Drink 2029–2041. Abv: 14.5%. (Nov 2025)"
95+ points Eric Guido (Vinous): "The 2021 Brunello di Montalcino Piero is wrapped up tight in its youthful state, with a whiff of dusty dried herbs, ashen stone, nuances of spiced orange and camphor. Its silken feel and ripe red and black fruits soothe the palate as a tension-building mix of brisk acidity, saline minerals and fine tannins adds cheek-pinching tension toward the close. This echoes with blue and purple inner florals, structured and intense, as a pleasantly bitter dark chocolate tinge lingers long. It's hard to read today, yet the 2021 possesses the balanced and dense complexity to mature effortlessly. Drink: 2030-2046. (Nov 2025)"
17.5/20 points Walter Speller (JancisRobinson.com): "Deep, lustrous ruby. A compact, subdued nose hinting at hidden depths. A generous dose of cherry and raspberry fruit on the palate. Doesn’t lack stuffing but with fantastic balance. Long raspberry fruit with clayey tannins but closes up on the finish. Alcohol 14.5%. Drink:2028-2038. (Dec 2025)"
