Red Wine from Barolo

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 94 points: The 2009 Barolo Parafada (also a product of the rich, clay soils of Serralunga d’Alba) presents the darkest color of the three and bursts open with ripe flavors of dried blackberry, tobacco, used leather and licorice. But...

jamessuckling.com, 97 points: A Barolo with beautiful berry, cappuccino and terra cotta character. Full body, round and velvety. Long finish. Better in 2018.

Vinous, 95 points: 95+ A gorgeous, totally striking wine, the 2012 Barolo Via Nuova opens with compelling, captivating aromatics. Deep, fleshy and powerful, the 2012 has blossomed beautifully over the last year, suggesting it still has room...

Vinous, 94 points: (94+) Marco Parusso's 2014 Barolo is one of the most stunning wines of the vintage. In 2014, Parusso made a single Barolo that incorporates fruit from Mariondino, Mosconi, Le Coste and most of Bussia. Rich, deep and...

Wine Enthusiast, 96 points: New leather, menthol, woodland berry, dark spice and a whiff of pressed rose petal are just some of the scents you'll find on this radiant red. Vibrant and loaded with finesse, the structured palate delivers juicy Maraca...

Vinous, 96 points: The 2013 Barolo Via Nuova is the most tannic and explosive of these three Barolos. The flavors are dark, powerful and intense throughout. Beams of searing tannin and vibrant, pointed acidity wrap around the virile...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 94 points: Mascarello's legendary cru, from this historic 15-acre, southwest-facing plot not far from the town of Castiglione Falletto, never disappoints. The 2014 Barolo Monprivato is as engaging and as individual as I had hoped it...

jamessuckling.com, 95 points: This is wonderfully succulent and refined with blueberry, lavender and sandalwood aromas and flavors. Botanical, with some junipers. Medium body, integrated tannins and a long finish. Very pretty. Polished tannins. The...

jamessuckling.com, 99 points: This is one of the most balanced and harmonious Monfortinos that I ever tasted. Aromas of dried rose petals and oranges. It's full-bodied yet compacted and tight. Tannins are perfectly managed. It makes you want to drink...

Vinous, 96 points: The 2014 Barolo Le Vigne once again shows the wisdom of blending fruit from different sites. If there is a vintage where blending has the potential to be the difference-maker, 2014 is it. So it is hardly surprising to...

Jancis Robinson's Purple Pages, 93 points: More brick than ruby. Very ripe cherry fruit and yet still with a delicate floral layer. As firm as the Cerequio but seems finer grained, more refined in structure. Fresher on the finish too. Immense length and density. ...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 98 points: (96 - 98 points) The limited cuvee made from four blocks of the Falletto Vineyard called Rocche, the 1998 Barolo Rocche di Falletto, borders on perfection. This massive, full-bodied wine is spectacular. A dark plum color...

jamessuckling.com, 99 points: Terrific aromas of pure strawberries and orange peel. Spanish-cedar undertones. Full body and a perfect balance of ripe fruit, hints of lemon and orange peel. Undertones of milk chocolate. Vibrant finish. This will be...

jamessuckling.com, 96 points: Impressive fresh leather-clad red cherries with a subtle earthiness in the background. Quite pure. Floral and aromatic. The palate has a very elegant yet powerful core of blueberries and cherries. A smooth release of...
