“New leather, camphor and fragrant blue-flower.”

James Suckling • 96 / 100

<p>"Woodland-berry, new leather, camphor and fragrant blue-flower aromas align in the glass. Showing youthful tension and depth, the palate is still immaturely austere but delivers juicy Marasca cherry, raspberry and licorice alongside firm, refined tannins. Fresh acidity keeps it well balanced."</p>

“Rich and decadent.”

James Suckling • 95 / 100

<p>"Rich and decadent red with strawberry, walnut, meat and tile aromas. It’s full-bodied with round, chewy tannins that are ripe and polished. Extremely opulent, but not overdone."</p>

“Sage, tobacco, leather and menthol add the closing touches.”

Vinous • 94 / 100

<p>"The 2016 Barolo Villero is a powerful, clenched wine. Then again, that's Villero. Readers will have to be patient, that much is clear. White pepper, chalk, dried flowers, dried red cherry and mint open up over time, but the 2016 is sinewy and nervous in feel, with just enough fruit to keep things in balance. Hints of sage, tobacco, leather and menthol add the closing touches of complexity."</p>
