James Suckling: 95 Points

This has an attractive nose of fresh and sour cherries, orange peel, licorice, mocha, nutmeg and porcini mushrooms. It’s full-bodied with ultra-fine, sleek tannins. Lots of flavor here, with delicious sweet spice complementing the red berry fruit on a long, seamless and polished finish. Even better after 2023.

Wine Advocate: 95 Points

This wine is not labeled Riserva, but it could be for all practical purposes. The Mastrojanni 2018 Brunello di Montalcino Vigna Schiena d'Asino has a dry quality of fruit, more brittle, if you will, with fallen autumn leaves, wild game, underbrush, hard salami and black pepper. Like many of the Brunellos from 2018, the primary fruit is not as bright. The tannins are finely textured, but I probably wouldn't age the 2018s as long as I would the 2019s or the 2016s. The last time this wine was made was in 2016, in fact.

Wine Spectator: 91 Points

Supple and vibrant, this red exhibits cherry, strawberry, rose hip, sanguine and leafy flavors. Balanced overall, ending with light, chalky tannins. Ready to drink, but there's no rush. Best from 2024 through 2038.
