95 points Kerin O'Keefe (Wine Enthusiast): "[$71 list] Truffle, woodland berry, leather and violet aromas shape the nose along with spice notes. It's still young and full of nervous tension but already offers juicy raspberry, star anise and white pepper. Tightly knit, fine-grained tannins and bright acidity keep it balanced. 2027–2034." (Sep 2022)
94 points James Suckling: "The soft tannins in this young Barbaresco are very seductive. Ripe strawberry and light chocolate with cream and berry undertones. It’s full-bodied and layered with pretty integration. Lots of tension, too. This is voluptuous for the vintage. Drinkable now, but better in two or three years." (Oct 2022)
93+ points Ian D'Agata (Terroir Sense): "Deep lustrous red: this is a really beautiful colour, perhaps a little deeper than I am accustomed to for this wine. A hint of lavender and peony complicate sour red cherry, menthol and mineral nuances on the nose. Then richer, fuller and less pungent in the mouth, where saline, savoury flavours of red fruit, licorice and herbs are clean and long. Finishes nicely tart and still a bit youthfully clenched. Lovely, promising wine that has a herbal/floral edge that may not appeal to everyone. Best after a few more years spent maturing in a good cellar, for a little time will help this show all it has to offer. Drinking window: 2026-2038." (Jun 2022)
