The Wine Enthusiast (92)- "The nose has the warm, welcoming aura of Bing cherries, vanilla, spices and old leather. Vanilla and berries lead off the palate, while sweet citrus and mocha finish it off. Tannins are still nothing to mess around with, even with some age."
The Wine Enthusiast (92)- "Fresh pomegranate seeds, fresh figs, peonies, graphite and dark chocolate on the nose lead into a spicier, earthier palate where the tannins are sleek and relaxing, but also solid and contoured. The finish is full of pepper, heat and acid–a well-integrated, satisfying wine."
Vinous Media (92)- "The 2019 Montecucco Sangiovese Riserva 8Ettari wafts up with a sweetly satisfying bouquet of dusty rose, wild strawberries and sage. It's texturally deep, silken and supple, with ripe wild berry fruits and a cascade of confectionary spice. A bump of residual acidity maintains fantastic freshness as the 2019 tapers off with a pleasant bitter tinge, leaving hints of tart blackberry."
