91 points James Suckling: "A medium-bodied red with plum and cherry character. Walnut and bark undertones. It’s creamy and savory at the finish. Drink now. (8/3/20)"
90 points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "The 2018 Le Difese is a very pretty, understated wine. Crushed flowers, sweet red berries, dried herbs and a touch of spice bring out the more delicate side of Maremma Cabernet Sauvignon. Best of all, the 2018 will drink well right out of the gate. Drink: 2020-2026. (Jan 2021)"
90 points Wine Spectator: "[$40 list] Evoking cherry, cedar, olive, iron, sanguine and tobacco flavors, this appealing red is firm and balanced, with a lingering, tangy finish of mineral and woodsy underbrush elements. Cabernet Sauvignon and Sangiovese. Drink now through 2024. (10/31/20)"
90 points Wine Enthusiast: "[$40 list] Aromas of star anise, dark-skinned berry, wild herb and toasted oak form the nose. A blend of 70% Cabernet and 30% Sangiovese, the wine's bright, linear palate offers red currant, prune and a hint of licorice before a coffee-bean finish. Racy acidity and taut close-grained tannins provide the framework and tension. Alcohol 14%. (Jul 2020)"
