96 points Wine & Spirits: "[$226 list] This wine's robust red cherry and berry flavors surge through taut, ferrous tannins, maintaining a cool elegance as the wine fleshes out with exposure to air. Girded by a tarry undertone, the flavors are impressively precise, the tannins finely chiseled, the aromas exuberant and fresh. (2022)"
95 points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "The 2018 Barolo Ravera is a wine of real depth and vertical structure. As always, the Ravera is a taut, nervy Barolo built on energy more than volume. Readers will have to be patient, as the Ravera is likely to require a number of years to be at its most expressive. Even in the early going, it is vibrant and full of life. Rose petal, chalk, blood orange and white pepper lend striking exotic top notes that are quite suggestive of what the future is going to bring. What a gorgeous Barolo this is. Drink: 2028-2048. (Feb 2022)"
95 points Susan Hulme MW (The Wine Independent): "The 2018 Vietti Barolo Ravera comes from grapes grown on a 3-hectare, single vineyard site in Novello with a south-western exposure and from vines with an average age of 30 years old. This wine has lovely aromas of faded roses, irises and dried flowers. On the palate it has a soft first impression, and the savory, fine-textured tannins are nicely integrated into the body of the wine, which feel a little drying. The wine shows plenty of quality, elegance and breeding. Drink 2025-2047 (Jul 2022)."
93 points James Suckling: "Lighter structure this year, but it’s intense, with focused red-cherry and raspberry character and spicy and mineral nuances. Medium-bodied with firm tannins and a very tight finish. This is super-compact and needs time to expand. Try from 2024. (3/3/22)"
