Barolo Riserva San Giuseppe Cavallotto 2019 (750ML)

97 Points, HOT WINE, Bruce Sanderson, Wine Spectator: "Beginning to hit its stride, this red is elegant, with a finely wrought structure of acidity and tannins underneath. Plum, cherry, licorice, tar, iron and eucalyptus flavors abound, and this is corralled on the long aftertaste by vibrant acidity. Shows plenty of detail. Best from 2027 through 2047..." 09/25

100 Points, Kerin O'Keefe, KerinOkeefe.com: "Offering intensity and concentration, the drop-dead gorgeous 2019 Vigna San Giuseppe Riserva, part of the Dynamic Duo of Cavallotto’s extraordinary 2019 Riservas, is intensely fragrant, featuring pronounced aromas of violet, baking spice, new leather and baked plum. Offering depth and layers of flavors, the delicious, structured palate delivers layers of ripe Marasca cherry, cinnamon, nutmeg and crushed mint before closing on a note of Earl Grey tea. A network of firm but velvety tannins provides support while bright acidity keeps it energized and balanced. This is one for the long haul. Drink 2031–2054..." 05/25

96 Points, Antonio Galloni, VINOUS: "The 2019 Barolo Riserva Bricco Boschis Vigna San Giuseppe is a very special wine. In fact, it is one of the most complete vintages of this wine I can remember tasting because it offers notable finesse to complement the virile power that is such a signature here. Black fruit, gravel, incense, licorice, dried herbs and lavender saturate the palate, framed by incisive yet well-integrated tannins that wrap it all together. The 2021 was impressive from tank. It is all that and more today..." 01/25
