WINE SPECTATOR 95 POINTS - "This red leans toward darker fruit flavors of black cherry and plum, with grace notes of menthol, tobacco and sweet spices. An expressive ’21, with ample yet pliable tannins lining the excellent, lingering aftertaste."
Enjoyable now with a couple hours or more in the decanter, but will improve with a few more years of age (or a decade)!
"The 2021 Barolo Arborina is a very pretty, ethereal wine. Dark cherry, lavender, rose petal, spice, mint and blood orange are nicely delineated. There is plenty of energy here. Even so, the Arborina feels a bit slender in 2021. That may be a reflection of younger vines in the mix. This opens beautifully with a bit of air, gaining mid-palate sweetness and breadth." - Antonio Galloni, VINOUS
