JAMES SUCKLING 97 POINTS - "A super-intense and perfumed Barolo, graceful and powerful, with aromas of Parma violets, citrus, leaves, lush cherries and yellow stone fruit. Full-bodied on the palate, it shows a velvety texture, ripe tannins despite the extraction, tight-knit acidity and graphite flavors. Long, lavish finish. Drinkable now, but best from 2027."

WINE SPECTATOR 97 POINTS - "This red is round, fleshy and expressive, featuring cherry, raspberry, hibiscus, iron and sweet spice flavors. The supple texture is offset with dense, yet refined tannins as this red extends on the bright and kaleidoscopic finish. Best from 2030 through 2050. 580 cases made, 70 cases imported."
