'This combines the best characteristics of Sangiovese, with cherry and strawberry fruit, earth, leather and iron notes and balsamic elements of wild thyme, rosemary and Mediterranean scrub. Shows a bit of heat on the finish, yet remains fresh and long.' 94 points (2015 vintage), Wine Spectator.

'A full, very layered young Brunello with cherry, floral and light toffee and cedar character. It’s very layered and fine-tannined. Lively acidity and focus. Really attractive dried citrus at the end. From organically grown grapes. Give this two or three years to soften. Try after 2022 and onwards.' 94 points (vintage 2015), James Suckling.

'The Col d’Orcia style of Brunello is based on clarity of fruit expression in open-knit wines of medium body, approachable fairly young and with usefully long drinking windows. The 2015 is especially engaging and mouthwatering. Organic. Drinking Window 2022 - 2035.' 94 points (vintage 2015), Decanter.

'The Col d'Orcia 2015 Brunello di Montalcino (made with organic fruit) has a very distinctive aromatic profile with subtle hints of rusty iron and moist potting soil. However, this wine also shows an impressive evolution in the glass with those earthy and sanguine notes lifting to reveal sweet oak tones of vanilla and baking spice that remain pronounced in a second underlayer. To me, Col d'Orcia's wines are almost always characterized by a medicinal or balsamic element, and the primary fruit is downplayed as a result. This vintage puts on a good show with wild berry, blackcurrant and dried blackberry. That said, this wine is more ethereal and spicy than it is fruity per se.' 93 points, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate.
