James Suckling: 93 Points
Lots of ripe berry and sandalwood, with some licorice on the nose. Full-bodied and layered with bark, mushroom and wet earth, with some balsamic undertones to the fruit. Big, yet not overly tannic. Drink or hold.
Wine Enthusiast: 93 Points
Elegantly structured this lovely red has scents recalling camphor, blue flowers, dark spice and coffee bean. Smooth and savory, the linear palate features juicy Marasca cherry, crushed raspberry and star anise set against taut, polished tannins.
Wine Spectator: 93 Points
Harmony and texture are the calling cards here, setting up the cherry, berry, leather and almond flavors. The tannins are well-integrated and this finishes with tobacco, tea and iron notes. More elegant than muscular. Best from 2021 through 2033.
Wine Advocate: 91 Points
The 2017 Brunello di Montalcino has some brambly fruit and forest floor with sweet tones of spice and spent ember. Overall, the aromas are subdued and not overdone, despite the riper fruit profile and concentration that was obtained in this vintage. Il Palazzone's wines all seem to have a savory comment that reminds me of mesquite or mahogany.
