92pts Vinous

The 2021 Carmignano Poggilarca opens with an exotic bouquet as blood orange and wild strawberries meet sage and lavender. This displays silky textures and ripe red and black fruits, offset by a bitter tinge of savory spice toward the close. The 2021 finishes long and leaves a primary staining of concentration, along with sweet tannins. This appears to be nicely balanced for the cellar.

90pts James Suckling

Black cherries, licorice, walnuts and dried spices on the nose, followed by a broad, full-bodied and spicy palate framed by medium-firm tannins. Drink or hold.
