Bruno Besa | Garnet to tawny. Closed nose, restrained, small red fruits, a touch simple. Sweet red fruit, well balanced by sweet, clean fruit. Palate much better than the nose, so maybe it just needs a couple of years. | 88

Stephen Brook | Lean, lightly herbaceous nose that gives some piquancy and aromatic lift. Sleek but intense, with the acidity more pronounced than the tannins, which seem light. A pretty rather than structured wine. This has the La Morra finesse, but lacks the Barolo grandeur. Stylish but slight, with a modest finish. | 87

Andrew Jefford | Clear, deep red. Plenty of high-toned, raspberry fruits here. Round, relatively soft, generous, limpid, and graceful: true to origin, satisfying, and glowing. Not a star for long cellaring, but a very sound glass of Barolo. | 90
