Nicolas Belfrage: Medium depth with slight turn. Cherry and flower on the nose, hints of truffle. Ripe, luscious but balanced fruit, with plenty of refreshing acidity mixed with sweet voluptuous fruit. Finishes almost exaggeratedly perfumed and has very good length. Drinking from 2016 for a number of years. 90

Bruno Besa: Garnet to tawny. Open, fruit-driven nose of small red fruits and violets. A touch simple for a Barolo? Medium body, fragrant and clean, with salty tannins. The palate is better than the nose at this stage, yet restrained and salty. 87

Andrew Jefford: Deep black-red, but clear. Quite a primary wine, but the fruits are well judged: the sustained trumpet note from the battlements. Vivid, firm, light but rich, lots of transgender appeal: what a wonderful and underrated village this is. It is light, but it is firmly and optimistically drawn. Less difficult than some of its village peers, thanks to that lovely confident piece of fruit calligraphy. A delicious modest bottle. 90
