96 points Wine Spectator: "A beam of fresh cherry and strawberry permeates this graceful red, driven by a vibrant structure. Flashes of sun-kissed hay, iron and mint add depth as this cruises to a lingering conclusion. Very harmonious, with a chalky sensation on the long, complex aftertaste. Best from 2028 through 2050. (Nov 2024)"
96 points Kerin O'Keefe: "The 2020 Coste delle Rose is a stunner, starting with its heady aromas of dog rose, lavender, juniper and eucalyptus. Combining finesse and density, the polished palate is delicious, delivering juicy red cherry, strawberry compote, blood orange, grilled sage and star anise alongside tightly knit, velvety tannins. Drink 2028–2035. (Feb 2024)"
96 points Audrey Frick (JebDunnuck.com): "Aged for 28 months in cask, the bright ruby 2020 Barolo Coste Di Rose was a little more reserved at this tasting. It reveals a hint of blood orange citrus along with its notes of cola, ripe strawberries, and raspberries. Medium-bodied, it has finely tensioned tannins and a clean, mouthwatering finish. It’s a very pretty wine. Drink 2026-2046. (May 2024)"
96 points Falstaff: "Clear ruby with a slight garnet shimmer. Clear and memorable, opens with notes of dried roses, then some cloves, plus lots of plums. Juicy on the palate, has very good tension, salty, present, fine-meshed tannins at the core, builds up over a long time. (Oct 2024)"
94 points Wine Enthusiast: "A Barolo of remarkable elegance and complexity. Lifted aromas of mixed wild berries, candied rose petals, cinnamon, and whole clove, are accompanied by warm, earthy notes. Tart cherries and cranberries dominate the palate, with woodsy undertones and chewy tannins that provide heft without overpowering. Savory and medicinal herbs linger on the finish, making this a captivating expression of this renowned cru. Drink Now - 2045 (Sep 2024)"
94 points James Suckling: "White pepper, dried roses, berries and mineral on the nose. Really elegant and chalky on the palate with medium to full body and a linear finish. Pure and driven. Drink or hold. (Jan 2024)"
