Barolo Castellero Giacomo Fenocchio 2015 (750ML)

92 points, Antonio Galloni, Vinous: "The 2015 Barolo Castellero offers terrific energy and verve to play off the riper elements of the year. Pine, menthol, licorice, spice, tobacco and dried herbs infuse the 2015 with real character. I especially admire the wine's vibrancy, something that is such a signature of wines from this vineyard in Monforte." 11/19

93 Points, James Suckling: "Has an air of riper fruit with dried plums and prunes, as well as an edge of woody spices. The palate is juicy, smooth and succulent with ripe red plums, swaddled in rippling tannins. Approachable now..." 1/19

93 Points, Kerin Okeefe, Wine Enthusiast: "This opens with aromas of sour cherry, violet and grilled herbs with a whiff of pipe tobacco. The linear palate is firmly structured and youthfully austere, offering pomegranate, star anise and blood orange framed in firm, fine-grained tannins." 12/1/19
