Description

James Suckling 95
Currants, brambleberries, lavender, dried mushrooms, bitter chocolate, tea leaves and cedar on the nose. Medium-bodied with precise, firm and tight tannins. Delicious dark-tea, cocoa and stone character. A joy to taste already, but better from 2024.
Decanter 93
Southeast-facing Sarmassa in Barolo is situated on stony clay and limestone soils, which naturally limits the vigour of the vines. Concentrated and sticky black fruits with a red fruit streak combine with balsamic overtones, touches of black tea and chocolate, and big, grippy tannins for a powerfully structured rendition of Nebbiolo.
Wine Enthusiast 92
Aromas of dark-skinned fruit, cedar and culinary spice lead the way. The taut palate offers black plum, vanilla and licorice alongside polished tannins and fresh acidity. Drink 2023–2030.
Wine Spectator 92
This red is not only expressive, exuding cherry, raspberry, mineral, earth and mint flavors, but it's also silky and succulent. Reveals refined tannins and bright acidity, which lend support as this glides to a long aftertaste. Best from 2025 through 2040. 3,300 cases made, 500 cases imported.
