Nicolas Belfrage: Deep, virtually opaque. Blackberry and dark cherry on both nose and palate. A hefty wine of power rather than grace, striking on finish but somewhat narrow in earlier stages. But it opens out and should drink well from 2016. 87

Bruno Besa: Deep core to garnet rim. Lively, youthful palate, with primary red fruit and hints of strawberry jam. Soft fruit and balanced palate— long, and a pleasure to drink now. Classic La Morra soft Nebbiolo. 89

Andrew Jefford: Deep black-red. This is rather a stewy, soupy nose; lacks a little precision and lift. Lush, full, soft, extravagant... but also rather soupy and lacking in focus and poise. Enjoyable, and as always the tannins of Barolo (and Nebbiolo in Barolo) ennoble the flavors, but it’s not a high-flyer. 82
