"From a site with southeast exposure in the morning sun, the 2021 Barolo Bricco Luciani most resembles Chambolle and has the La Morra-like finesse that™s a hallmark of the village. In the glass, it offers notes of rhubarb, crushed stones, fresh herbs, red berries, and incense. The palate offers finely coiled tannins, an even feel, and a long finish with notes of fresh orange citrus. It is a gorgeous wine now and will be very nice to check back in on over the coming two decades."

"Aromas of watermelon, melon, oranges, flowers and cherries follow through to a medium body with fine tannins and a crunchy finish. Very primary and al dente in nature. Drinkable now, but needs two or three years to come around. Best after 2027."

"The 2021 Barolo Bricco Luciani is gorgeous. Floral and delicate, but with lovely depth, the Bricco Luciano is super-expressive right out of the gate. Kirsch, orange peel, chalk, mint and white pepper give the 2021 an incredibly distinctive, exotic feel. This is such an attractive and complete Barolo. There's a bit of oak, but it works well here."

"Oak sensations of toasted spice and campfire ash are more prominent in the Mauro Molino 2021 Barolo Bricco Luciani. You're definitely going to want to give this bottle an opportunity to age and integrate. That oak will hold it steady in the long run, but in the short term, you can expect spicy fruit, toast and bold cherry. There is a delicate side to Bricco Luciani in La Morra that recalls medicinal herb and eucalyptus. Production is limited to 4,456 bottles."

"There™s ample cherry, strawberry and pomegranate fruit offsetting the ironclad structure in this succulent red. Eucalyptus, juniper and spice flavors add depth as this plays out on the lingering aftertaste. Best from 2028 through 2045."B.S."

"La Morra. Lustrous mid ruby with orange tinges. Deep fruit notes with just hints of minty oak. Suave red fruit of great concentration but without being heavy and with long, fine, gravelly tannins sticking to the fruit. A cru in the making? (WS)"
