Wine Enthusiast
Reviewed July 2025The nose offers earthy, umami aromas of damp soil, underbrush, balsamic, coffee grinds and mixed herbs, plus a pop of tart blackberries. On the palate, the blackberries are sweet and ripe, even as crushed rocks, herbs and more soil preserve the earthy feel. Warm and lively on the finish. (DC)

James Suckling
Subtle noes of red cherries, pepper, leather and cocoa powder wrapped up in fresh violets. Firm attack of extracted chalky tannins soaked in cherries, with a full body and refreshing acidity. Savory, fruity finish. Drink or hold. (AF)

Wine Spectator
This red is rich and generous for the vintage, offering cherry, plum and rose flavors that show light accents of earth and dusty herbs. Light tannins and lively acidity lend support, and this fades gracefully on the finish. Best from 2026 through 2040. (BS)

Jeb Dunnuck
A saturated red color, the 2018 Brunello Di Montalcino Riserva Gli Angeli takes on a supple and ripe profile with aromas of cherry pie, baking spices, sweet cedar, and crushed flowers. Medium to full-bodied, this continues to the palate with supple tannins, a delicately rounded mouthfeel, and a clean, lifted finish. It’s a very attractive wine now and should have an open window for drinking over the next 8-10 years, but it doesn't feel structured enough for the cellar much longer than that. (AF)
