  Mature and shiny with a captivating profile alternating notes of sour cherries, pressed red flowers, lemon juice, linden, jasmine, rose petals and dog rose. Full bodied, soft tannins of optimum workmanship and an incredibly elegant and compact finale that will come out over time. Better from 2023. International Wine Report
  
  Plums and blackberries with cedar and flowers. Cool and fresh. Full-bodied with really fine tannins that are multilayered on the palate. Tight at the end. Extremely well-crafted and structured. Drink in 2023 and onwards. James Suckling

  Nothing special of a wine. Fruit forward easy drinker and lighter bodied wines. Well balanced with a fairly lively acidity. I was told that this is the mother wine of the Andretti Barolo 16'. Not sure what this means.
