Vinous: 100 Points

The 2016 Barolo Riserva Rüncot is quite possibly the single greatest wine I have tasted in more than twenty years I have been coming here, with the possible exception of the 1989s and 1990s. Deep and powerful, but not at all heavy, the 2016 dazzles from the very first taste. Dark cherry/plum fruit, menthol, lavender, licorice and mocha saturate the palate in a Barolo of extraordinary richness and intensity. The 2016 spent four years in 100% new oak, and yet there is no trace at all of wood. Magnificent!

James Suckling: 96 Points

Aromas of dried cherries and cranberries with notes of walnuts, ground nutmeg and dried mushrooms. Complex and structured with a medium to full body and a broad, dense tannin structure. Firm and chewy. Long finish.
