97 points James Suckling: "The depth and beauty of this are so enticing and attractive that you want to drink the whole bottle. It’s medium- to full-bodied with cherries, strawberries and white truffles. Juicy and precise, with a real presence and complexity as it opens. Best after 2027, but already gorgeous. (8/16/24)"
94 points Bruce Sanderson (Wine Spectator): "[$350 list] Strawberry, cherry, rose, eucalyptus and stony mineral flavors are framed by dense, fine-grained tannins in this graceful, firmly structured red. Elegant and very Burgundy in profile, with a vibrant character and excellent length. Best from 2028 through 2046. 836 cases made, 225 cases imported. (12/15/24)"
94 points Wojciech Bonkowski, MW (TimAtkin.com): "(15%). Bruno Giacosa might no longer be with us but his legacy lives on, despite several changes at the helm of winemaking here. This Barolo exudes classicism and power, beginning with an airy, spicy, beautifully varietal nose before a regiment of well-drilled tannins marches across the palate with authority. Despite the year’s challenges, the ripeness and quality of fruit are impeccable, and the iron-cast austerity for which Giacosa is known for is dosed with flair. Imposing. (Oct 2025)"
