The 2019s are potent, tightly wound Barolos that will thrill readers who appreciate the nuance, subtlety and structure of Nebbiolo. Well timed rain helped the temper summertime heat, leading to one of the latest harvest of recent years. Today, the 2019s show elements of youthful austerity that, at times, recall vintages such as 2016, 2005 and 1999." (01/23) 95 points +
This is a wine of great finesse but also complexity with an imponent tannic structure that, although charming in this moment, requires more time to refine. It is still very young. This wine was aged in a Barrel of 2600 litres of French oak.
Pouring a jeweled ruby hue, the 2019 Barolo is lovely and detailed, with floral perfume and notes of candied roses, raspberry preserves, and sweet baking spices. This medium-bodied red is mouthwatering from the start and is balanced with ripe red berries, orange peel, and cinnamon. Fine yet present tannins are propelled forward by fresh acidity and a mineral-tinged finish. I continue to be impressed with the direction this estate has been heading in, and this wine is certainly no exception, lending great insight into the work they have put in. Best After 2025.
The fresh flowers, like roses, really come through here. Perfumed. Sliced strawberry and citrus. Full-bodied with linear and tight tannins. Bright acidity gives it drive and focus. Give it four or five years to soften and come together.
