"Spiced and racy Barolo with ripe red berries, spices, sandalwood and hints of white pepper. Medium-bodied with a dusty texture to its tannins and vivid acidity. Textural and polished, with citrus peel character at the end. Already attractive to drink, but better after two to three years."

"Medium red in hue, the 2020 Barolo has a lovely floral nose leading with notes of fresh rose petals, ripe strawberries, dusty earth, and tea leaf. Medium-bodied, it's weightless on the palate, with fine tannins and elegant citrus. Light on its feet, this fantastic value is approachable now, but it's going to do improve over the coming 8-10 years."

"Molino's 2020 Barolo is a very pretty, classy entry-level offering. Macerated red cherry, orange peel, cinnamon, cedar and sweet pipe tobacco inform this aromatic, mid-weight Barolo. All the elements are nicely balanced throughout. Vineyard sources are Annunziata, Berri and Perno. The 2020 is a real charmer."

"The Mauro Molino 2020 Barolo exhibits a lean and silky character with aromas that build in intensity with time. They include underripe cherry, apricot and evenly dispensed oak that is not intrusive. Dried leaves and licorice give the wine an autumnal vibe, and the tannins remain slightly sweet and powdery. This is a 45,000-bottle release."

"Refreshing and lively, bursting with the scent of fresh strawberries and an array of enchanting floral notes that contribute to its beauty. Incredibly vibrant and fresh, with a palate that immediately induces salivation. The balance achieved between the sour and tart red fruits and the herbal undertones is remarkable, giving the wine an overall prettiness and elegance with supple tannins and sweet spices on the finish. Drink now–2040.—J.P"
