100 points Falstaff Guide: "Bright, rich ruby garnet. Fragrant, deep nose of graphite, dried rose petal, plus cardamom and ripe cranberry, reverberating with dark cherries, a hint of dried tomatoes and leather. The extremely exciting palate displays polished, magnificent tannins that are tight-knit, in addition, a firm drive comes again and again, endless finish, royal class! (Jul 2022)."
96 points James Suckling: "Pretty, floral nose, also offering mushroomy sous-bois notes that give this a real nebbiolo feel from the outset. Full-bodied with firm, fine tannins that are very polished and anchor the wine nicely. Love the focus here. This will need lots of time to evolve and meld together. Try from 2025. (2/7/22)"
96 points Susan Hulme (The Wine Independent): "The nose of this 2018 Aldo Conterno Barolo Romirasco is quite closed at the moment. There is a hint of green herb and cedar spice with upright savory tannins. This is a firm, traditional style, densely layered. Keep for at least 5 years. Drink 2022-2032 (Jul 2022)."
95 points Wine Spectator: "Sweet, aromatic spices signal this supple, complex red. Underneath the oak, this has cherry, plum, iron and menthol flavors allied to a broad profile. Solidly built and lingers with savory, spice and mineral elements. Very elegant overall. Best from 2025 through 2045. 500 cases made, 27 cases imported. (2022)."
