2016 Monchiero Pernanno Barolo Riserva

95 Points, 5 Star rating – The Real Review (Huon Hooke) – “Garnet colour with brick edges. A complex bouquet immediately grabs your attention, with restrained plum and dark cherry fruit scents, 'forest floor' aromas veering toward mushroom and truffle, baking spices and hints of cedarwood. The flavours are intense and mouth-coating, fleshy and fresh with plum and currant, liquorice and subtle spiciness, swept up by firm, ripe tannins and a long, flowing finish. A wine of impressive structure that will age for many years. (From 60-year-old vines) ” Stephen Blandford drink 2022-2040

17.5 Jancis Robinson - "Just mid ruby with bricky rim. Seductive nose of raspberry and cranberry with a pinch of oak. Much less open on the palate, closed even, but with potentially fantastic balance. The bitter-sweet tannins need more time to integrate in the wine, but it will be worth the wait."
