James Suckling: 92 Points
"Notes of ripe cherries, plum skins, bitter orange, and spices. A little tarry, too. Full-bodied with tightly packed tannins that are chewy but polished. Concentrated. Long. Better after 2026."
Wine Enthusiast: 91 Points
"Elegant aromas of dried rose, tar and dried cherries mingle in this Barolo, showcasing the essence of the region. On the palate, vibrant red berry flavors intertwine with subtle truffle notes, balanced by firm yet graceful tannins and lively acidity."
