James Suckling: 97 Points

This is very spicy with nutmeg cloves and hints of hazelnuts that add complexity to the black-cherry and raspberry undertones. Full-bodied rich and layered with a velvety texture and a flavorful finish. Beautiful center palate. Very powerful and structured. Hints of mushroom and balsamic in the aftertaste. Needs time to

Wine Spectator: 92 Points

Aromas and flavors of iron leather and earth swirl around the core of plum and black cherry in this broad-shouldered red. Dusty tannins congregate on the finish where the flavors echo. Best from 2023 through 2037.

Vinous: 90 Points

The 2018 Chianti Classico Gran Selezione Castello di Brolio is laced with crushed red berry spice dried herbs anise and white chocolate. This perfumed mid-weight Gran Selezione will drink well right out of the gate. This is an especially aromatic understated style but it works quite well.
