Decanter: “Multiple layers of black and red cherries, plums, roses and violets in a backdrop of toast and tar. The tannins are confident yet mellow, the acidity lifted and grippy and the finish is long and empowering.”

James Suckling: “This Barolo shows precision and elegance, with Parma violets, cinnamon, red currants, red cherries, earth and smoke on the nose. Full-bodied, it offers fine-tuned tannins, juicy acidity and a savory palate enhanced by a restrained blood-orange aftertaste. Almost drinkable now, but best from 2027.”

Wine Enthusiast: “Like a shy guest finding their voice, this Barolo opens to reveal dark and tart cherries wrapped in velvet. Pine needles, blooming roses, and incense float above, while the palate moves with rich yet vibrant energy. The wine shifts from lush fruit to earthy depths, calling for hearty fare at the table. Drink Now – 2040.”
