2019 Castello di Verduno Monvigliero Barolo

96 Points, Kerin O'Keefe - "Showing structure and finesse, the beautiful 2019 from Castello di Verduno is a wonderful expression of this celebrated vineyard, starting with its enchanting aromas of red forest berry, cedar, wild rose and a potpourri of spice. Extremely elegant, it has a great depth of flavors, including ripe Morello cherry, raspberry compote, cake spice and flinty mineral accompanied by taut, refined tannins. Fresh acidity keeps it impeccably balanced". Drink 2027–2039. Abv: 14% 

17.5/20 Jancis Robinson (Walter Speller) - "Verduno. Just mid ruby. Beautiful, savoury, minerally fruit on the nose, with just the merest suggestion of oak. On the palate, a combination of lightness and fullness – there is no other way to describe it. Fluid raspberry fruit with savoury, saline notes and finely ground tannins on the finish. "
