Wine Enthusiast: 98 Points

"Aromas of ripe black-skinned fruit new leather menthol and a whisper of blue flower unfold on this stunning elegantly structured wine. The vibrant palate doles out ripe black cherry cinnamon and star anise framed in firm fine-grained tannins. Hold for even more complexity. Absolutely superb."

"Costanti's 2010 Brunello di Montalcino is stunning. Dark powerful and mysterious in the glass the 2010 captivates all the senses with its breathtaking beauty and layered multi-dimensional personality. Lavender violets savory herbs smoke plums and graphite flow through to the rich explosive finish. There is a prism-like sense of transparency allied to pure power in the 2010 that is impossible miss. Readers who can find the 2010 should not hesitate; it is a must-have. While many 2010s are approachable today the Costanti's 2010 is not; it is a wine for the cellar. -- "

"This is a spectacular effort. The 2010 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva shows deep inner intensity and lovely aromatic characteristics that are very true to the mighty Sangiovese grape. You can't go wrong with a wine like this especially if you are seeking the true flavors of Montalcino. The aromas are presented in neat and tidy fashion with wild berry blue flower spice and herb that converge to create a united front. In the mouth the wine delivers ample power and momentum with dark flavors and firm structure. The wine need another few years of bottle aging to flesh out further. "

Wine Spectator: 94 Points

"Rich with a smooth texture and lively structure supporting the mulled cherry licorice leather and tobacco flavors. This firms up ? a good sign in a young red with a lingering finish of tobacco and spice."
