98 points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "The 2019 Barolo Mosconi is the most potent of the three Barolos in the range. It exudes Monforte darkness and virile intensity from the very first taste. Black cherry, plum, mocha, sage, tar, lavender and spice infuse the 2019 with tons of character. This is one of the most elegant wines I have ever tasted from Mosconi, a site that does not naturally lend itself to finesse. Drink: 2027-2044. (Jan 2023)"
98 points Monica Larner (Wine Advocate): "With fruit from Monforte d'Alba, the E. Pira e Figli - Chiara Boschis 2019 Barolo Mosconi is the most powerful of the three wines presented here. We tasted it last. Bottled on the full August moon, the wine is impeccably balanced and bright with dark fruit, black cherry, spice and pencil shaving. The tannic structure of the wine is impressive, and you can count on Mosconi for long aging potential. Drink: 2025-2050. (8/24/23)"
98 points Audrey Frick (JebDunnuck.com): "The 2019 Barolo Mosconi is a bit deeper in color, with its jeweled appearance leading to floral, fresh, and spicy notes of ripe cherry, pink peppercorn, and fresh rosemary. It is medium to full-bodied, with great purity, and has ripe, sweet tannins that fill the palate alongside balanced fruit, hints of forest floor, and a bit of cedar. It is long on the palate and needs more time. Drink: 2025-2045. (5/4/23)"
97+ points Luca Gardini: "Monforte d'Alba, vineyard of the same name, Helvetian soils, so very compact gray marls. A Barolo of impressing structure. The bouquet shows notes of blueberry, touches of juniper, licorice powder and bitter orange. On the palate the tannins are savory, then fruity-citrus return and hints of underbrush. (Sep 2023)"
97 points Falstaff: "Bright, intense ruby with a brightening edge. On the nose ripe wild berries, cedar, plus liquorice, distantly reminiscent of milk chocolate, candle wax, reverberating with incense, cranberries and rosemary. On the palate hearty, with grippy, tightly woven tannins and pinpoint acidity, as if from a single mould, keeps coming, great length, very harmonious. Alcohol 14.5%. (10/6/23)"
96 points James Suckling: "Lots of spices and earth with dark berries on the nose. Full-bodied with fine and silky tannins and a long and flavorful finish with blackberries and cinnamon. Racy and silky texture at the finish. From organically grown grapes. Best after 2026 but already a joy to taste. (7/28/23)"
95 points Wine Spectator: "[$162 list] A fresh, firmly structured red, boasting cherry and raspberry fruit at the core, framed by mint, tar and iron flavors. Broad-shouldered, with a solid matrix of tannins that dominate the finish today. Packs generous ripe fruit, so be patient. Best from 2027 through 2047. 391 cases made, 117 cases imported."
