Gardini Notes (100 points & "Best in class"):
"Coming from a parcel in the Ravera cru, 30 months in large oak barrel, the rightly celebrated magisterium of the house in an accomplished label. Blueberry jam, then rhubarb, cinnamon and sensations of blood orange. Rightly tannic mouthfeel, length."
Jeb Dunnuck (96 points):
"A youthful red brick color, the 2019 Barolo Ravera Bricco Pernice has a phenomenal nose, delivering notes of polished leather, dried strawberries, cedar, mint, and lilacs. Taking on a more noble structure, this medium to full-bodied Barolo offers broader-shouldered tannins, a chiseled feel with ripe, rich tannins, and an earth-driven finish. It’s a fantastic wine to cellar and enjoy over the next two decades."
Wine Spectator (96 points):
"Cherry, plum, tar, tobacco and wild herb flavors permeate this muscular red, which is on the austere side today, not yielding much fruit, with a dense base of beefy tannins. The superlong, iron-infused finish shows this wine's future potential, so keep your hands off for now. Best from 2030 through 2050."
