2020 Barolo, Bricco Boschis, F.lli Cavallotto

Mid ruby with orange tinges. An immediate, captivating nose, concentrated and complex. Cherry, raspberry and pet shop (in a positive sense), garden herbs and morocco leather although this has only seen large oak casks. Saline minerally hints. Very compact and embryonic on the palate with endless, fine, gravelly tannins. Monumental. ~ (17) Walter Speller, JancisRobinson.com 10-4-2023

A youthful saturated red/ruby color, the 2020 Barolo Bricco Boschis leaps from the glass with tangy aromas of sour cherries, orange peel, clove (it smells like heffeweisen), and dried earth. The palate is lovely, revealing a refined structure, ripe, velvety tannins, and a pure core of concentration with a ripe yet weightless feel. It has good depth and remains fresh, and its structure lasts long on the finish, but so does its fruit. I liked the palate more than the nose at this stage, and it’s likely going to improve with time in bottle over the next 12-15 years. Drink 2026-2040. ~ (93) Audrey Frick, JebDunnuck.com 5-13-2024
