Cordero di Montezemolo Barolo Monfalletto 2019

95 points Monica Larner (Wine Advocate): "The 2019 Barolo Monfalletto (made with organic fruit selection from across the vineyards that surround the winery in La Morra) shows grit, density and rich texture. The house style prizes muscle and brawn in this vintage that lends itself handily to these qualities. Pressed cherry and blackberry cede to licorice, cured tobacco and iron ore. With 53,000 bottles released, this is the estate's most representative Barolo. Drink 2025-2043 (Aug 2023)" 94 points Wine Spectator: "A plump, cherry-, raspberry- and tar-flavored red, showing accents of mineral, tobacco and eucalyptus, with a swath of solid tannins guarding the finish. Balanced and long, this should come around soon. Best from 2026 through 2045. (Nov 2023)"

94 points James Suckling: "Attractive aromas of black cherry with strawberry and hints of vanilla and cedar. Some sandalwood. Medium body. Ultra-fine tannins integrate beautifully into the wine. Plenty of fruit flavors and length. Juicy. Drink in 2026 and onwards. (Jul 2023)" 93 points Falstaff Guide: "Bright ruby red with garnet highlights. On the nose, ripe blackberry and wild berries, dark chocolate and liquorice. On the palate, body and fruit aromas as well as tight tannin that would benefit from further ageing. (Oct 2023)"

92 points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "The 2020 Barolo Monfalletto is a pretty serious wine. Dark and ample, with big tannins, the 2020 is a rich, dense Monfalletto that is going to need a number of years to come into its own. This is an especially dense, potent La Morra Barolo built on texture. Red fruit, blood orange, spice and new leather underscore this very rich wine. Drink 2024-2034 (Jan 2024)"
