Wine Advocate
“The elegant 2010 Brunello di Montalcino shows an impressive degree of inner grace and harmony. This wine expresses itself articulately with the softest tones. No part of its message is too loud. In fact, it whispers seductively with small fruit aromas, forest bramble, root beer, dried herb and balsam notes. The effect is feminine and finessed. Polished tannins make way for fresh acidity and long persistency. This Brunello sees 30 months of aging in large oak casks and is fermented with indigenous yeasts. (ML)” (02/2015)

Int'l Wine Review
“The 2010 Tenuta di Sesta is a gorgeous wine, with aromas of sweet red berries and plum which are mixed with spices, licorice, citrus peel and fresh floral. This classy Brunello is structured around fine silky tannins that show wonderful polish all the way through the finish. (JD)” (04/2015)

Decanter
“Slightly subdued on the nose, then fresher, richer and more intense on the palate with spicy red berry and iron flavours. Cocktail of spices at the back palate with plenty of leather and cigar hints. (Panel Tasting)” (05/2024)
