Barolo Mosconi Pio Cesare 2021 (750ML)

95 Points, Monica Larner, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: "The Pio Cesare 2021 Barolo Mosconi draws its fruit from one of the most celebrated MGA sites in Monforte d'Alba recognized for its rich and powerful wines. This expression does indeed open to a dark color and medium-rich concentration with a texture that is both velvety and smooth. Aromas recall sweet earth, spice, blackcurrant and cured tobacco. The wine is quite elaborate and complete, showing multiple dimensions of Nebbiolo both in terms of elegance and brawn. It ends with well-managed tannins that give this wine a slightly more approachable personality." 06/25

97 Points, James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com: "This is so floral, with violets, roses, dark fruit and lovely sandalwood and cedar. A touch of flint, too. Medium- to full-bodied with such elegance and a long and rather endless finish. It goes on and on. What a wine. Drink after 2027." 08/24

96 Points, Antonio Galloni, Antonio Galloni: "The 2021 Barolo Mosconi is another superb wine from Pio Cesare. Dark red fruit, iron, white pepper, incense, tobacco, licorice, dried herbs and rose petal all hit the palate. This brawny Barolo captures all the structural intensity of Mosconi so well. The more classic style Pio Cesare favors these days goes a long way in balancing much of that intense, unbridled power." 01/26
