The 2017 Barolo is a pretty dense wine from proprietor Nicola Oberto. I am used to seeing a bit more finesse and transparency here, but the 2017 is quite a powerhouse. Large-grained tannins add to that impression. Time in the glass brings out hints of spice and tobacco, and yet the 2017 remains a bit rough around the edges. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, October 2021)

The acidity is not high enough to lift the aromas. The fruit concentration is high but not nuanced. The texture resembles those of Cavallotto and Fenocchio.

2017. Opened up beautifully. As La Morra’s barolos are reputed, quite elegant, balanced, smooth. Not overpowering.

Obviously a bit early to pop but gave a full day decant—solid core of fruit, cherry liqueur, blackberry/dark fruit, unresolved tannin, slight heat.

Completely different from the 2016 vintage. Low complexity in both aromatic and structural domaine.
