Falstaff 100 Punkte: 

Funkelndes, mitteldichtes Rubin-Granat. Intensive und sehr ansprechende Nase, nach Rosenblättern, frischen Waldhimbeeren und dunklen Kirschen. Entfaltet sich am Gaumen mit viel griffigem Tannin, ausgefüllt von feinem Schmelz, im Finale langer Nachhall mit Noten nach Himbeere und Kirsche, überaus geschliffen.

James Suckling 97 Punkte:

This is so perfumed with cherry, floral, hot stone and chalk aromas that follow through to a medium to full body, with chewy, velvety and slightly dusty tannins. Bark and truffle add to the complexity of the finish. From organically grown grapes. Drink after 2024.

Galloni 97 Punkte: 

The 2016 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva is dark and brooding in its youthful state, offering up a seductive bouquet of dried cherries, currants, cloves and dusty flowers, like opening a cedar incense box lost many years ago. It coasts silken waves of textural red berries and liquid florals across a core of bright acids, becoming spicier and violet-tinged as it travels across the palate. The inner harmony and elegance achieved here is remarkable, as if there is not a hard edge in sight, yet it is structured and savory – almost salty, even. A full minute goes by and hints of licorice, pomegranate and cinnamon still linger on. As motivating and lively as this is today, it will require a number of years in the cellar to show its best. The 2016 Riserva is stunning from start to finish.
