96 points Kerin O'Keefe: "Absolutely gorgeous, the 2019 Barolo from Paolo Scavino stuns with its fragrance of perfumed berry, dark spice, Alpine herb and dog rose. One of best entry level Barolos from the vintage, it’s focused, vibrant and savory, delivering crushed mint, star anise, cranberry, red cherry and blood orange. Elegant and taut, it boasts polished tannins while bright acidity imparts vibrancy and tension. Drink: 2027–2039. (Apr 2023)"
95 points James Suckling: "The fresh flowers, like roses, really come through here. Perfumed. Sliced strawberry and citrus. Full-bodied with linear and tight tannins. Bright acidity gives it drive and focus. Give it four or five years to soften and come together. (7/28/23)"
93 points & '#78 Top 100 Wines of 2023' Wine Spectator: "A supple, vibrant Barolo, with fine depth to the cherry, raspberry and floral aromas and flavors. Solidly built, with refined tannins and a long, juicy aftertaste. Reveals earth, iron and tobacco accents that linger. Best from 2026 through 2042. (11/30/23)"
92 points Audrey Frick (JebDunnuck.com): "[$63 list] Pouring a jeweled ruby hue, the 2019 Barolo is lovely and detailed, with floral perfume and notes of candied roses, raspberry preserves, and sweet baking spices. This medium-bodied red is mouthwatering from the start and is balanced with ripe red berries, orange peel, and cinnamon. Fine yet present tannins are propelled forward by fresh acidity and a mineral-tinged finish. I continue to be impressed with the direction this estate has been heading in, and this wine is certainly no exception, lending great insight into the work they have put in. Drink: 2024-2034. (5/4/23)"
92 points Monica Larner (Wine Advocate): "The Paolo Scavino 2019 Barolo (with Enrico Scavino's signature on the front label) was a little slow to open and showed some reductive qualities when I tasted it. Give it more time to develop. Reading between the lines, you get bright cherry and raspberry with mild spice, licorice and tar. It ends with mineral sensations and easy Nebbiolo tannins (that are still young but aligned). Drink 2024-2038 (Aug 2023)"
92 points Falstaff Guide: "Bright, brightening ruby garnet. Hearty nose, of dried herbs, rose hips and raspberries, reverberating with pomegranate and mint. Clear and juicy on the palate, with balanced tannins, also slightly salty, harmonious in the medium-long finish. (10/6/23)"
