Score 90/100 · Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Feb 2021
The 2016 Barolo is medium in body, classically austere and full of character. Sweet red cherry, mint, white pepper, cedar, tobacco and dried flowers emerge, but only with great reluctance. I would not be in any rush to open bottles soon. Readers who enjoy traditionally made Barolos will adore the 2016. Patience is key here. 90+ (AG)

Score 17.5/20 · Drink 2024-2038, Walter Speller, jancisrobinson.com, Jul 2020
Castiglione Falletto. Tasted blind. Mid ruby. Savoury, minerally and balsamic and completely closed on the fruit. Very slow to open up on the palate, too. Long perfumed finish and fine, chewy tannins. Lots of promise here. (WS)
