Carlo Revello Barolo 2016

95 p JS: "Aromas of smoke, bark, ash and ripe berries follow through to a full body with chewy tannins and an underlying focus of fruit, berry and earth. It’s tight, tannic and very long. Give it three or four years to come together. Try after 2023.
94 p RP: "The classic Carlo Revello & Figli 2016 Barolo represents a blend of fruit from La Morra (the part that adds fragrant intensity to the bouquet) and Serralunga d'Alba, the part that adds structure and power. You get aromas of crushed cherries and dried violets that I would associate with La Morra, but I also pick up on the ferrous or earthy aromas that I associate with Serralunga d'Alba. This vintage shows power, with tannins folded into the rich structure of the wine. Some 16,000 bottles were released."
93 p AG: "The 2016 Barolo is a gorgeous entry-level wine that shows just how appealing this vintage is, even among straight Barolos. Bright red cherry and floral notes grace this vibrant, wonderfully nuanced Barolo. The 2016 is flat-out delicious and will be impossible to resist, even upon release. The purity of the fruit here is just striking."
