"Subtle aromas of cherries and cranberries with notes of dried herbs, spices and moist earth. Hints of tar, too. Medium- to full-bodied, focused and balanced with firm tannin structure and a chalky finish. Lingering and velvety. Better after 2025."

"The 2019 Barolo Castelletto La Villa is gorgeous. Dark and ample on the palate, the 2019 offers up a compelling m,lange of black cherry, plum, licorice, cloves, tobacco and leather. This strapping, potent Monforte Barolo has a ton to offer. The 2019 is an especially fine edition."
