Falstaff (96)

Bright, intense ruby core with hints of garnet on the rim. Boldly aromatic with notes of tobacco, leather and ripe plum. Exciting palate with dense black fruit, firm distinctive tannins, complex length and hints of liquorice on the finish.

James Suckling (94)

Love the aromas of subtle smoked meat, cedar and leather that highlight the pretty fruit. Full-bodied, tight and chewy with very polished tannins and a flavorful finish. Very fine and reserved at the end. Just opening now.

Vinous (96)

The 2013 Barolo Riserva Vigna Rionda is elegant, refined and translucent right out of the gate. A Barolo of drive and precision, the 2013 Rionda captures all of the energy of this great vintage. Red-toned fruit, blood orange, cinnamon, mint and rose petal play off virile tannins in a Barolo of contrasts that is both finessed and potent.

Wine Enthusiast (97)

A classic Barolo, this opens with textbook Nebbiolo aromas of pressed rose, leather, red berries, pipe tobacco and balsamic notes of eucalyptus. Boasting power and finesse, the firmly structured palate delivers red cherry, pomegranate, licorice and exotic spices framed in tightly knit, noble tannins that need time to unwind. It's balanced, with fresh acidity.
