"Focused, compact and well-balanced with strawberries, red currants, wet stones and some bay leaves. Medium- to full-bodied with firm tannins. Ample and well-structured with plenty of volume on offer on the center-palate. Delicious and well-driven with a long finish. Try after 2028."

"The 2020 Barolo Bricco Ambrogio is a complex, alluring wine. Dried herbs, menthol, licorice, sage, mocha and lavender play off a core of purplish/black fruit. Dark and sensual, but not at all heavy, the 2020 has a ton to offer in a plush, immediate style. This is a very sexy Barolo."
