Score 94/100 · Drink 2025-2038, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Sep 2021
The 2018 Chianti Classico Riserva Il Poggiale is a brooding, savory wine that is going to need a number of years to come together. Sweet tobacco, herbs, licorice, menthol and spice give the Poggiale its distinctive personality. It's the sort of Riserva that needs bottle age to soften and show the full breadth of its personality.

Score 93/100 · James Suckling, Jun 2021
A perfumed nose of cherries, wild strawberries, dried flowers and spice box. Medium-to full-bodied with grainy tannins. Juicy character with crisp acidity on the palate. Fresh and flavorful. Drink or hold.
