James Suckling, 95 Points 

"Restrained licorice, earth, strawberries and touches of wax, fresh violets and orange peel. Very juicy on the palate, with a medium to full body, crisp acidity and refined, light-framed tannins. Drinkable now, but best from 2026."

Jeb Dunnuck, 94 Points 

"All these wines from Burlotto have a jewel-like ruby hue, and each of the Barolo were aged for three years in oak, without fining or filtering so they have time to settle and take on this brilliant clarity. The 2021 Barolo has a lot of complexity and clarity on the nose, which is focused and lifted with fresh spices, ripe red berries, sweet citrus zest, candied cinnamon, and fresh flowers. The palate is medium-bodied but has considerable depth of mineral texture, with notes of salty earth, electric, refreshing acidity, and an energy that lifts the wine through its long finish. Drink 2025-2045." 

Vinous, 91 Points 

"The 2021 Barolo is a super-classic wine in every way.  Its aromatics, bright acids and overall depth are those of a wine that punches above its weight.  White pepper, mint, slate, crushed rocks, red-toned fruit and citrus all race across the palate.  Clean mineral notes and wiry tannins pull it all together on the finish.  This overachieving Barolo is superb."
