Wine Spectator: 98 Points
Stunning showing black cherry blackberry plum leather earth and iron aromas and flavors that work in tandem with the supple texture and dense structure. This has a good feel between its level of ripe fruit and firm tannins to age well. Excellent length. Best from 2026 through 2045.

The Castello Banfi 2016 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Poggio alle Mura pours from the bottle with an inky dark appearance and rich color concentration. The full-bodied Brunello takes the Banfi philosophy (based on research and mapping to understand the unique qualities of each growing site in this sprawling property on the southern side of the appellation) to heart. The fruit selected here aspires to extract richness and all the other qualities associated with your quintessential Sangiovese Riserva. Careful work in the winery has helped to chisel out blackberry spice cherry leather and baked clay. Ample doses of cola licorice and tar appear on the very long and powerful finish in this 14638-bottle release.
Vinous: 93+ Points
The deep rich 2016 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Poggio alle Mura wafts up with an air of crushed ashen stone and hints of graphite before giving way to black cherry minty herbs and hints of shaved cedar. This is elegant yet savory in character with velvety textures ushering in mineral-tinged black fruits and exotic spices. The finish is remarkably long and structured yet the tannins are refined and hints of sour citrus combine with a twang of tart red currants under an air of tobacco. This is an imposing and powerful Riserva Poggio alle Mura that?s just begging for a long stay in the cellar. (Drink between 2026-2034)
