Barolo Baudana Luigi Baudana 2015 (750ML)

95 Points, Bruce Sanderson, Wine Spectator: (Highly Recommended) "Macerated cherry, floral, licorice, mineral and Asian spice flavors highlight this firmly structured red. Taut and balanced, with plenty in reserve, building to a long, detailed finish. Best from 2022 through 2045. 400 cases made, 75 cases imported." 10/19

95 Points, Monica Larner, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: " The Luigi Baudana 2015 Barolo Baudana, with fruit from Serralunga d'Alba, is a wine with a very promising aging future ahead. Starting with the firmness of its core and its tightly knit fabric, this wine offers all the main criteria for graceful cellaring. You get bright primary fruit, along with crisp acidity and rock-solid structure. You won't miss those characteristic Serralunga d'Alba tannins. Give the wine time to soften, relax and flesh out further. Still nervous in its youth, this pretty wine will award those who wait." 6/19, #243

95 Points, Kerin O'Keefe, Wine Enthusiast: "{Cellar Selection}. This offers textbook Nebbiolo aromas of rose, forest floor, red berry, tobacco and a balsamic whiff of eucalyptus. The enveloping, delicious palate has structure and finesse, doling out juicy Morello cherry, crushed raspberry, licorice and clove framed in tightly knit but refined tannins. Drink 2023-2035." 12/19

94+ Points, Antonio Galloni, Vinous: "The 2015 Barolo Baudana is powerful, ample and deep, with tons of brightness to play off the sweet red cherry and pomegranate fruit. Already quite expressive, the 2015 appears to have a very bright future. Even today, its balance is simply impeccable. Within the context of the year, the 2015 Baudana is one of the most polished refined wines readers will taste." 2/19
