97 points Monty Waldin (Decanter): "After Giancarlo Pacenti took over from father Siro in 1988, he moved from big oak vats to smaller casks for ageing, 'not for oak flavours but for its smoothing effect on wines'. His wines are always lively, and his 2004 Brunello has plenty of life ahead, its Sangiovese fruit softest and most expressive if decanted. A modernist meditation wine. Drinking Window: 2021-2035. (10/28/20)" 96 points James Suckling: "Licorice, earth and spice aromas with black mushrooms. Floral and multidimensional. Medium to full body. Juicy tannins. Complex and savory. Changes all the time. Drink or hold. (6/16/22)" 95 points Wine Spectator: "Perfumed with rose and ripe cherry. Full-bodied, with bright acidity and clean, mineral, floral and berry character on the palate. Tight and firm, but shows wonderful promise. This is chewy and develops in the glass.
