90 Points - Wine Spectator
"Sweet ripe cherry and strawberry flavors are accented by leather, hay and licorice notes in this light-bodied red, which is balanced and elegant, ending in a moderately long finish. Best from 2021 through 2035. 2,083 cases made, 800 cases imported." -BS, 3/31/19
90 Points - Wine Advocate
"The 2014 Barolo is characteristic of the vintage. This is a mid-weight Nebbiolo with bright aromas of candied cherry, cola, licorice and moist potting soil. These aromas come together with careful precision, and although the wine is compact in texture, it leaves a long and satisfying trail of silky, smooth tannins." -ML, 4/30/19
