Decanter, 97 Points 

"Harvested on 22 September, approximately 10 days before Montalcino proper but within the traditional average dates for Il Poggione, this very elegant 2010 is a benchmark of typicity for this estate. It's full of raspberry and pomegranate fruit, with hints of roasted nuts, a touch of dry mushrooms and iodine minerality in depth. It becomes almost silky yet vibrant through the palate." 

Wine Spectator, 95 Points 

"Rich, with excellent density, ripe cherry and plum fruit, and a wellintegrated structure. Licorice, earth and tobacco notes add depth while this cruises to a long, tobacco- and mineral-tinged finish. Shows balance and grip. Best from 2018 through 2033." 

Wine & Spririts, 94 Points 

"Meaty and dense, this wine shows layers of dark fruit, hoisin, savory herbs, dark chocolate and orange zest, the firm tannins dusted evenly throughout, allowing the fruit to seep through. It feels fresh and savory, a little untamed, ready for seared rib eye or to put away in the cellar to gain more complexity with time." 

James Suckling, 93 Points 

"Lots of sliced mushroom and berry character. Lots of flowers such as lilacs and violets. Full body, firm tannins and a fresh and clean finish. It's harmonious and beautiful."
