Opening with aromas of crushed red fruits and a bouquet of bay leaf, balsam, and sandalwood that slowly lift from the glass. The palate is rounded and pretty-soft tannins make it immediately accessible. A savory backbone is brightened by hints of orange zest and clove, creating an approachable yet complex profile that is ready to be enjoyed now.

Medium red in color, the 2020 Barolo is fruity and expressive out of the gate, with pure, ripe aromas of ripe mixed berries, wildflowers, sweet herbs, and cedar. There's lovely freshness on the palate, with medium body, mouthwatering dark mineral accents, ripe tannins, and an approachable feel. It's a very appealing wine that captures the elements of this vintage with a skillful hand. Drink 2024-2032.

The 2020 Barolo is a terrific wine in its peer group. It offers up scents of pine, cedar, sweet pipe tobacco and crushed herbs. Delicate and elegant, with gorgeous aromatics and tons of presence, the 2020 is impeccably done. This bottling has aged quite well in the past. I imagine that will also be true of the 2020.
