The 2019 Barolo is a terrific entry-level offering. Sweet pipe tobacco, cedar, menthol, licorice and spice open in the bouquet. The 2019 is quite expressive aromatically, which makes it tempting to drink, although it is quite potent on the palate. The 2019 is a fine choice for consuming over the next decade or so, but I would give it a healthy decant first. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, January 2024)
