SH | This wine is a classic, bright, even coloured ruby not showing any evolution in colour. The nose ahs a lovely transparency and purity about it, clear just ripe crunchy red cherry, warm cream and gentle vanilla spice with wild flower fragrant notes that come and go. Very bright, focused acidity giving a more linear structure to the soft, ,lush roundness that can often be typical of La Morra, I like this more edgy precise style and the bright, uplifting finish.Drink Dates: 2025 - 2036. 94
AJ | Limpid and translucent garnet-red. Vivid, fresh fruits: cherry and plum. Ample poise here, with a sense of creamy warmth beneath: a wine you'd like to roll in your glass. Pure, fresh, direct: as with so many 2020s, you almost have the sense that you are drinking straight from the vine. The concentration is sound here, and the tannins are present but not obtrusive: a thoroughly enjoyable wine and with a little more concentration and a little more finesse, it would have scored in the 90s.Drink Dates: 2025 - 2032. 89
MP | Very obvious with bright cherry fruit supported by strawberry and raspberry jam. There are some additional notes of baking spice, black cherry and cooked plum. On the palate this has surprisingly soft acidity and gentle, slightly cooked red and black fruit that prop up the tannins on a moderate finish. It's a gentle, delicate and thoroughly enjoyable introduction to Barolo and one that will provide delicious early drinking.Drink Dates: 2025 - 2030. 93
