Surprisingly good and drinkable for its age, yet also not exceptional. The fruit is alive and in balance but short. — 5 years ago

The last bottle from the cellar of a terrific restaurant in Castlenuova Bererdagna. 30 Euro off the list. Amazing. Resolved, mature, lively tertiary attributes. Beautiful. — 7 years ago

Very impressive for the vintage. Drinking well now. Proof (along w B. Mascarello) that good producers who weren’t hit by hail made good wines. Sadly Cavallotto was wiped out, and Brovia nearly so. — 8 years ago

This might be the best Dolcetto on the market. Not too tannic and not finishing short. Excellent wine. Blind, I thought it was Barbera. — 9 years ago

Richer than the cavallotto I drank it with but still very pretty. — 10 years ago

9.4

Quite deep garnet , just a hint of ruby and a wide garnet , terracotta rim. Touches of chestnut , dark fruits , earthy liquorice , dry spice and black tea . On the palate this is very classically styled , with dark liquorice tinged blackberry, raspberry , spiced black tea and menthol tinged good long length finish . Balanced acaidity and quite high , grippy tannins. With time this is beginning to show quite well , but will not doubt improve over the next 5 perhaps 10 years and last well a further 10 . Really quite classic and imposing in style , but detailed and complex. — 7 months ago

Cavallotto was just singing last night. The plush, fruity qualities of the ripe vintage against fine tannin and vibrant acidity. 2 of 3 opened last night. — 4 years ago

There is not enough lively acidities and tannic grip to provide support, texture and definition for the aromas that are dominated now by old wood and lack detail and focus. Some people like its relaxed, unforced style but the winemaking is not as accomplished as those from Roagna, Cavallotto and Oddero. After 24 hours, the aroma dissipates to reveal the tertiary notes and the tannins come forward. — 6 years ago

A bit richer, rounder and more relaxed, still authentic, refined and restrained — 7 years ago

A continuation of sharing my early impressions of the 2021 vintage in Barolo; Cavallotto is one of those benchmark producers for me, inextricably connected to Bricco Boschis, which they have farmed for nearly 100 years. Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of a few hours. The 2021 Bricco Boschis pours a brilliant garnet color with a transparent core; medium+ viscosity with no staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with powerful notes of Morello cherry, dehydrated orange, cumin, tar, roses, talcum powder, fresh sage and fresh mint, and dried gravelly earth. On the palate, the wine is bone dry with structure like that of Helm’s Deep; the tannins are absolutely rippin’ and acid at medium+. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is extremely long, savory and drying, to the point that you feel it in your gums several minutes. A brilliant Barolo that has a very long life ahead. Drink now with plenty of air and patience through 2071. Pairs well with hearty lasagna and baseball. — 8 months ago

Really a lovely langhe nebbiolo from a producer we respect deeply after walking the Bricco Boschis with him a couple years ago. Decanted for 3 hours which I definitely recommend at this time. A bit unresolved still in terms of tannins. But deeply aromatic with great dark fruit and acid. Probably a better pairing with a cut of meat vs pizza. Delicious. — 5 years ago

1974. Seemed flawed at first, 8 hour decant later was fine. Old Barolo nose, old Barolo palate, old Barolo finish. Happy Father’s Day to all the fathers out there. — 6 years ago

Alive but on the downhill. Drink up. Good thick fruit but lacking a bit of acidity. It’s the vintage I guess. BTW, the bottle hasn’t leaked. The stain on the lable is from somewhere else. — 8 years ago

Delightfully drinking white wine made from Pinot noir. Very interesting. Pretty mouth filling with good fruit and acid. Easy to like. — 9 years ago

Stunning. Tart yet round with strawberries, apples, oranges, and minerals. As it warms up there is prominent butter and spice. I need to find more. — 10 years ago
