Wow. We NEVER see deals like this on top-quality Barolos in halves.
95 from Suckling:
A fine-tuned, elegant Barolo with aromas of dried cherries, dried roses, licorice and mint. Full-bodied, it shows smoothness, density, weight and soft tannins despite the structure, with refreshing acidity and a long, vibrant finish full of savory flavors. Drinkable now, but best from 2026.
Also 95 from Vecchione:
Red plums, wild strawberries, citron pieces, bay leaves, sage, marjoram, and hibiscus enliven the main aroma. Slightly wilted linden blossom and sandalwood describe the secondary aroma. Full body, perfectly ripe tannins, and a finish that beautifully combines power and progression. Drink now or age.
And the Wine Spectator:
Laced with cherry, strawberry, rose, mineral and white pepper flavors, this red is expressive despite being linear and taut. Firms up on the finish, where lively acidity drives the fruit and savory elements. Shows excellent harmony and potential. Best from 2028 through 2045.
Just a gorgeous Barolo, in hard-to-find half-bottles, and at a great price.
