Andrea Shapiro rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Medium garnet in colour. Tart cherry, rhubarb, vanilla musty and dusty, earthy, leather and bay leaves on the nose. Loads of earthy tones here. Tart cherries, black pepper, chocolate, cedar and smoked meat on the palate. Grippy and textured, medium plus body and acidity. Very dry with a long mineral finish reflecting a dark bitter chocolate and sweet wood finish. Dry and delicious. Pair with spicy tomato veal parmigiana and smoked meat sandwiches. 90 points November 2017

Monique Sosa rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

Worthy and value-priced Brunello right here! This wine boasts major floral cherry, cedar, smoke, and sage aromas. The palate is showing ripe tannins, smooth satiny mouthfeel, high high (yes, high!) acidity, and long mouthwatering flavours of cherry and cedar. Enjoy this full-bodied gem with roast beef.

Matt Steeves rated this wine as 90/100 with the following review:

A great entry level Brunello that after an hour decant would be great with braised dishes this holiday season and throughout the winter. 90 points.

Natalie's Review

Poggiotondo Centolani Brunello Di Montalcino 2011, Tuscany D.O.C.G, Italy: Seductive nose of wild violets and woodland tart berries. Palate is mixed spice and mystery. Good finish but by far my fav is the nose and palate. Magical. Drink: 2016-2022. 276576 14% XD 750 mL $46.95 Score: 91/100. November 12, 2016 Top Rated Red Wine.
