2016 Barolo Riserva, fu Cav. Lorenzo, Paolo Scavino
A firm and chewy Barolo showing sour cherries, lemon rind, dried flowers and tar on the nose. Some leather and mahogany. It’s full-bodied, firm and tannic, with meaty and zesty components. Powerful. Try after 2027. ~ (96) James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com 1-10-2024
Dark red/magenta in color, the 2016 Barolo Riserva is remarkable, offering loads of kirsch, polished leather, balsamic, dark chocolate, and crushed violets. The list goes on and on as it opens and begins to show more mineral aromas of graphite and truffle. Medium to full-bodied, it’s an exquisite red, with ripe, polished tannins, a seamless structure, and a long finish. It retains wonderful purity and ripeness and leaves a haunting sensation as it tapers ever so slowly. This stunning wine from the Scavino family is built for the long haul. Drink 2026-2056. ~ (98) Jeb Dunnuck, JebDunnuck.com 5-13-2024
The 2016 Barolo Riserva is a dense, dark, towering wine. A rush of plum, pomegranate, spice, espresso, cloves and livorice saturates the palate. This sumptuous, full-throttle Barolo has a ton to offer. The interplay of textural richness and structure is compelling. This is a fabulous wine with great purity of fruit, depth and intensity. Scavino lovers will be delighted. ~ (97) Antonio Galloni , Vinous 11-1-2023
