Vinous (94)

The 2019 Barolo Castellero is a deep, beguiling wine. Deeply pitched spice, menthol, licorice and dried herbs meld into a core of dark-toned fruit. Virile and imposing, with notable inner sweetness, the Castellero is stunning. There's a bit of new oak influence, but it is not dominant. This is another superb Barolo from Brezza.

Barolo. Just mid ruby. Balsamic, lifted nose with hints of morello cherry and the merest suggestion of oak. Tightly knit, fragrant cherry and raspberry palate, with savoury, minerally touches and bitter-sweet tannins. Could do with a little more time. (WS)

Wine Enthusiast (94)

This wine slowly lifts out of the glass with aromas of mixed red and dark-hued berries, balsam, wild mint and sweet spice. Mouthfilling and somewhat imposing, the wine shows cherry and blackberry with an aged tobacco and tea note on the smoldering finish.
