96 points Vinous: "The 2019 Brunello di Montalcino pulls the taster close to the glass with its dark and earthy blend of crushed ashen stones, giving way to rosemary, cedar, exotic spice and a core of raspberry preserves. Enveloping and serene, this flows across the palate like pure silk, steadily building in tension as tart wild berries and orange hints give way to a sweet herbal thrust. The 2019 finishes with tremendous length and is classically structured, as crunchy tannins resonate and violet inner florals slowly fade over a tactile coating of minerality. Il Poggione has captured the radiance of the vintage, yet this is just a baby today. (EG)" (12/2023)
95 points Wine Enthusiast: "On the nose, licorice bridges aromas of sweet cherry candy and the savory tang of crushed rock, earth and bergamot. On the palate, chocolate lifts the sweet cherry notes, while bitter citrus peel carries through a chili pepper finish. Bouncy acid spotlights saline overtones. (DC)" (04/2025)
95 points The Wine Independent: "The 2019 Brunello di Montalcino has an intriguing nose of freshly shaved white truffle, rose petals, sweet earth, candied orange peel, and roasted hazelnut. The tannins are abundantly silken, with a subtle power on the palate that is framed with freshness. The palate feels complete and holds the 15% ABV with grace, while the finish unfolds with fresh herbs and earthiness lingering. (VC)" (12/2024)
94 points Wine Advocate: "The Il Poggione 2019 Brunello di Montalcino shows an evolved bouquet with aromas of dried fruit, forest floor, crushed flower and autumnal leaf. On a second nose, you get dark licorice, wet slate, cola and grilled rosemary. The tannins are powdery and dry. I recommend a medium-term drinking window as a result. (ML)" (12/2023)
94 points Wine Spectator: "Features ample plum, cherry, iron, tobacco and underbrush flavors buoyed by a plump texture to match the dense structure, plus vibrant acidity to keep it all focused. Another year of aging should allow the finish to stretch out and this wine to reach its full potential. (BS)" (06/2024)
94 points Jeb Dunnuck: "Saturated dark red in color and coming from 25- to 60-year-old vines, the 2019 Brunello Di Montalcino is a brooding and serious wine on the nose and needs a little air on opening at this youthful stage, with aromas of cigar box, vanilla, smoky cedar, blackcurrants, tobacco leaf, and charred rosemary. Opulent and rich, this full-bodied Brunello reveals rich, velvet tannins, warming richness, and spice, and its oak-noted frame enhances the richness. It’s deserving of several years of proper cellaring to harmonize and is a lovely, warming wine to enjoy over the coming 15- 20 years. It was raised for 3 years in large French oak barrels.
