James Suckling: 97 Points
The finesse and beauty of this wine are rather breathtaking, with currant, mint, spearmint, sandalwood and blackberry aromas that follow through engagingly to the palate. It starts off medium-bodied, but then grows on the palate and spreads out at the end with reserved fruit and superb tannins. Fantastic structure and balance. Needs five or six more years to come together.
Wine Advocate: 95 Points
With the cobalt blue and gold label, the Brancaia 2021 Il Blu is a blend of mostly Merlot with smaller percentages of Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon. This top-shelf release shows a medium to full-bodied texture with sweet tones of black fruit, cigar box and dark-grained toasted bread. The wine expands fully over the palate thanks to its soft texture and tannins.
Wine Spectator: 95 Points
Blackberry and black currant fruit reign in this slim, juicy red, which is defined by vibrant acidity and a line of dense, well-mannered tannins as it plays out on the finish. Accents of vanilla, graphite and black pepper add detail. Shows fine potential. Merlot, Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon. Best from 2027 through 2038. 3,000 cases made, 288 cases imported.
