- Score: 87 Vintage 2020 Wine Enthusiast Intense aromas of ripe cherry, tar and rose petals define the nose of this Barolo. The palate is structured with flavors of juicy blackberry, dried herbs, and a hint of tobacco. Firm tannins and a long, persistent finish make this a classic expression. Drink 2028-2045. — Jeff Porter Shelf Talker Full Page Review
- Score: 92 Vintage 2019 Wine Spectator Rich and dark, this red reveals plum, black cherry, tar and floral flavors. Solid, with dense, dusty tannins following through on the long, compact finish. Best from 2026 through 2042. 300 cases made. Shelf Talker Full Page Review

- Score: 94 Vintage 2016 Wine Spectator Very tight, this has shut down, with the structure dominating any fruit or savory flavors for now. The nose and palate, however, hint at the depth and ripe fruit that lurks beneath. Fine balance. Best from 2024 through 2045. 400 cases made, 35 cases imported. Shelf Talker Full Page Review
