Tenuta Vallocaia "Bindella" Vino Nobile di Montepulciano 2021

James Suckling : 94 Points

(10/29/2024) A graceful Nobile with a vibrant nose of orange peel, red cherries and a lot of cinnamon and sweet spices. Deep sandalwood as well. Medium- to full-bodied, this shows flavors of violets, cherries and oranges as well as chewy acidity and tannins. Chalkier in the finish yet youthful and balanced. Drink or hold.

Vinous - Eric Guido : 91 Points

(2/2025) The 2021 Vino Nobile di Montepulciano lifts from the glass with an intense burst of black raspberries, sweet smoke and wild herbs. It's soft and round, with mineral-inflected red and black fruit notes swirling over a core of tactile minerals. Violet inner florals linger on as the 2021 tapers off gently tannic and spiced with a perfumed character. Drinking window: 2025 - 2031.
