99 points Luca Gardini: "A real gem of the territory, nose of great freshness, nectarine and lemon sage, citrusy touch of orange, with lashings of rosehip and ginger. The sip is equally fresh, with savory tannins and floral notes of yellow fruit. (Apr 2024)"97 points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "The 2020 Barolo Gavarini Chiniera is a heady, almost exotic wine. Harvest took place on October 17, very late for the year. Hard candy, kirsch, menthol, dried rose petal, mint and blood orange infuse the 2020 with striking depth. The tannins, often incisive here, are remarkably polished. A wine of beautiful nuance and persistence, the 2020 Gavarini is not the most obvious wine in this range, but it could very well be the classiest. Don't miss it! Drink: 2026-2045. (Jan 2024)"
95 points Monica Larner (Wine Advocate): "[$125 list] Showing a slightly heavier fruit profile from the hot vintage, the Elio Grasso 2020 Barolo Gavarini Chiniera has aromas of strawberry tart with gelatin; there is also a dark tarry note and clean earthy tones. You don't get the floral aromas as much in this wine. The wine is very focused on fruit and earth, with some background spice. It finishes smooth and with length, showing good acidity, and the tannins are present but not overwhelming. Drink 2026-2045 (Apr 2024)"
