96 Points - Wine Enthusiast, Kerin O'Keefe, September 2020. "Iris, woodland-berry and pine-forest aromas shape the nose. On the focused, vibrant palate, mint and star anise notes accent a core juicy Marasca cherry. Taut polished tannins and bright acidity provide balance and a firm lithe structure. Drink 2024–2031."

93 Points - Tom Cannavan, January 2020. "Well, this is just delicious and already drinking well, though undoubtedly with many years ahead of it. Quite pale and touched by amber on the rim, there's great fragrance here, old roses and tar, classic Barolo, plenty of fruit, pencil-shaving and spices too in a complex but alluring picture. In the mouth so soft already, the initial impression at least with that supple, fleshy fruit, but the firmness of the structure here begins to impact, telling you there's a serious side to this, lovely cherry acidity and bit of sinew to the tannins, finishing on fruit spice and structural grip. Price and stockist quoted at time of review is for the previous vintage."
91 Points - Falstaff, October 2020. "Dark shining ruby red. A nose of rich cherries and a delicate savoury undertone. Vibrant palate, juicy acidity, radiant youthful fruit with a slightly salty texture. Harmonious and will be ideal for the table."
