96 points/'Cellar Selection,' Wine Enthusiast: "Mocha, blue flower, menthol and forest berry aromas lift out of the glass. Firmly structured but elegant, the linear palate exhibits pomegranate, wild strawberry, star anise and white pepper alongside a backbone of fine-grained tannins and racy acidity. Drink 2029–2044. Alcohol 14%. (Sep 2022)"
95 points Monica Larner (Wine Advocate): "The Sottimano 2019 Barbaresco Basarin opens to a beautifully luminous ruby appearance with soft Nebbiolo aromas of wild cherry, grilled rosemary, cola and pressed wildflower. The wine is tapered and extremely elegant with firm tannins over a long mouthfeel. There is a hint of crunch on the close that will soften as this beautiful Barbaresco continues its bottle evolution. Drink: 2024-2040. (Aug 2022)"
95 points Wine & Spirits: "This wine is jubilantly expressive, its flavors of crunchy cherry and raspberry infused with an inner sweetness that's balanced by tangy acidity and taut, chalky tannins. Immensely enjoyable now, it has the freshness and concentration to improve with age. (2022)"
