"A beautiful Barolo here with a touch of dried spices to the grapefruit citrus, minerals, camphor and dried flowers. Melted, chalky tannins on the palate with medium to full body and a long, mineral-driven finish. Lots of clarity and finesse here. Drink or hold."

"Shiny mid ruby. Balsamic cherry nose with a hint of oak and compact cherry fruit with fine yet firm tannins that make themselves felt on the finish."

"Youthful deep ruby in color, the 2020 Barolo is ripe and spicy with aromas of dried cherries, red berries, peppercorn, alpine herbs, and pressed flowers. Medium-bodied, it's elegant and polished, with silky tannins, ripe fruit, clean lift, and a clean finish. Elegant all the way through, it handles its sunny feel with ease. It's approachable for enjoying now or over the coming 8-10 years."

"Aromas of ripe berry, blue flower dog rose, camphor and spice form the nose on the 2020 Barolo from Paolo Scavino. Smooth and savory, the palate delivers juicy cherry, licorice and a hint of espresso alongside smooth, almost silky tannins. Drink through 2030. Abv: 14.5%"

"The 2020 Barolo is seriously beautiful. Pliant and creamy, with terrific depth, the 2020 impresses with its bold, open-knit personality. A burst of dark red cherry/plum fruit, rose petal, mint and spice lend notable character to this decidedly exuberant Barolo from the Scavino family."

"The Paolo Scavino 2020 Barolo (with Enrico Scavino's signature on the front of the bottle) has a handful of savory herbs, barbecue rub, ripe plum, sweet cherry and dried currant. There are notes of aniseed, but otherwise, the wine is quite broad-brushed, thick or husky on the mid-palate. It ends with balanced freshness. The blend borrows fruit from Rocche Moriondino, Vignolo, Pernanno, Terlo, Albarella, Vignane, San Bernardo, Cerretta and Bussia Vigna Fantini. It ages in oak casks for 22 months, and 50,000 bottles were made."

"A truly inspiring Barolo! Opening with aromas of macerated Bing cherries kissed with clove and anise that then evolves into notes of wild herbs and earth. The elegant palate is open and giving with ample fruit at its center while retaining more of its soul for a few years in the cellar. Drink now–2040. Cellar Selection. —J.P."

"This expressive red delivers cherry, floral, licorice, eucalyptus and tar flavors. Turns firm on the finish, where dense tannins leave a strong grip. Fresh and long. Best from 2027 through 2042. 4,100 cases made, 1,900 cases imported."
