Cavallotto Barolo Riserva Vignolo 2009

Wine Enthusiast: Perfumed with woodland berry, dried rose, cake spice and sweet pipe tobacco, this is one of the most impressive of the '09 Riservas. The delicious, full-bodied palate offers layers of juicy black cherry, clove, cinnamon, licorice and mineral. Firm, ripe tannins give it structure and a polished feel. Drink 2019–2029. 95/100 (2016)

Jancis Robinson: Very dark, developed-looking ruby. Dense and a little rich on the nose and with huge depth. Invigorating acidity and supple fruit immediately followed by powerful tannins. Elegant palate weight and the whole builds a real unity.Very dark, developed-looking ruby. Dense and a little rich on the nose and with huge depth.
