Description
94 Points Wine Spectator This ripe, fresh red is hallmarked by plum, macerated cherry, green tea and menthol flavors. Delivers seductive fruit and is begging to be drunk now, yet the structure indicates that this will age beautifully. Best from 2024 through 2042.
93 Points James Suckling Beautifully perfumed with cherry, dried-strawberry and walnut character, as well as undertones of tar. Medium-to full-bodied with creamy, chewy tannins and light chocolate and berry undertones. Fine-textured at the end. Try after 2022.
92 Points Wine Enthusiast Crushed mint, pressed rose and underbrush mingle with a whiff of clove. It’s full bodied and juicy, offering black cherry, cranberry, truffle and espresso alongside assertive close-grained tannins that grip the finish.
91 Points Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate The Marchesi di Barolo 2016 Barolo Coste di Rose delivers exactly what the vineyard’s name suggests: aromas of wild rose and dried violet. On the back of those floral tones are some tangy touches of wild berry and dried apricot with tar, tobacco and black licorice. Within the greater Marchesi di Barolo portfolio, this wine is uniquely floral, with soft, approachable tannins. You could age this wine or sample it straight out of the gate with some grilled porcini.
