Product Description
AG97 "The 2013 Barolo Bricco delle Viole is a real head-turner. Sweet, perfumed, vivid and exceptionally beautiful, the 2013 is simply stunning. A wine of exceptional finesse and sensuality, the 2013 hits all the right notes. Today, the 2013 reminds me of the 2008, but with more depth, density and creaminess - especially through the middle - and slightly redder fruit tones. (Drink between 2021-2038)" Antonio Galloni, Feb 2017
DR96 "July through to September saw large diurnal differences, with warm days turning to chilly nights and the harvest extended until October 29. I agree with Francesca that 2013 isn't a rock star; instead it's a classical music virtuoso. Despite a gorgeous nose of spice, floral potpourri and perfumed herbs, the palate is still closed. It's profound and layered, with plenty of ripe yet commanding tannin. This will take time to blossom. (Drink between 2022-2040)" Michaela Morris for Decanter, Oct 2017
