BUY THE WINE

Bruno Besa | Lively ruby to garnet rim. Mature yet restrianed red and black fruiot nose with black cherries, cranberries, hints of smoke and road tar. Medium to full bosy well supported by the layred tannins. Mature red fruits palte with lively acidicity and defined finish. Well made wine for moderate cellaring. | 92

Andrew Jefford | Clear, limpid garnet-red. Gently warm, softly enticing; glowing currants scattered with a rose petal or two. Some darker, tarrier plum fruits, too. Quite sweet-toned in scent. Surprisingly deep, intense, driving, even a little rasping on the palate, with lively acidity and firm tannins, sweeping aside the memories of that aromatic sweetness and putting a fresh, almost appley vigor in its place. | 88

Michael Palij | This shows a welcome tightening of the rules for what makes Barolo. More small berries (red currant, black berry, blueberry) and a fine streak of pleasantly vegetal notes including tobacco and hay. The palate is lean and focused, with fine, dusty tannins and fine length driven by the red fruit notes. | 91
