96 points Wine Enthusiast: "Enticingly fragrant, this gorgeous wine opens with classic Nebbiolo aromas of woodland berry, wild rose, forest floor, pipe tobacco, dark spice and a balsamic whiff of menthol. Reflecting the nose, the delicious, structured palate delivers dried cherry, raspberry compote, truffle, star anise and a note of crushed mint. Firm but noble tannins provide the framework and bestow impressive aging potential. Drink 2022–2037."
A little shy at first and then WOW, super-fragrant, sublimely balanced -- "young Barolo Riserva can't possibly be this good" is exactly what my tasting note reads. (Quint)Essential Barolo, and truly the wine for kings! - Marcus
