Cordero di Montezemolo 2014 Barolo Enrico VI, from the Villero cru in Castiglione Falletto, is an exotic wine. Ripeness is clearly pushed to the edge in this overt, unctuous Barolo, and silky, plush tannins add to the wine's unusual but also incredibly alluring style. Super-ripe black cherry, leather, chocolate, mocha and plum are all fused together. Readers should expect an extroverted, almost brash Barolo. I would give the 2014 at least a few years to shed some of its baby fat. There is no shortage of personality or character here. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Feb 2018)
