93 points Monica Larner (Wine Advocate): "[$40 list] Here's a dark and brooding wine from a classic vintage. The Cavalier Bartolomeo 2016 Barolo Altenasso (with fruit from Castiglione Falletto) delivers a tighter tannic structure and more firmness next to the 2015 vintage that I tasted at the same time. This vintage demands a later drinking date and needs more time to soften and flesh out. In the wine's youth, it already shows budding aromas of dark fruit, spice, pressed violet and licorice. Again, those aromas are tightly wound at the present time, but you can expect them to blossom in the future. Give the wine another five to 10 years before checking back. Drink: 2024-2040. (Jul 2020)"
