One part bad generic label, one part ridiculous price, one part the negociant-sounding verbiage and lack of definitive googling of winery source: this was an easy experiment in the realm of Barolo. Thin amber throughout, a nose headed into classic prune while maintaining easy fruit backgrounds behind the rasp and ire of chalky substance. Generous funk on opening–and rather closed-in–decanted…

🇮🇹🍷 Enjoying this beautiful 2018 Michele Chiarlo Reyna Barbaresco (93 pts, $37) from Piedmont tonight. Arrived in LCBO VINTAGES last weekend. Highly recommended buy! Full review: https://bit.ly/3WOoFJA
Gianluca is recognised as one of the best looking winemakers but he is more than just a pretty face.
This Nebbiolo spends 30 months in stainless steel before being finished in Austrian oak. The result is a fresh, medium bodied nebbiolo with unusually big and full flavours.
Herbaceous and powerful with ripe tannins, fresh acidity and a long finish.
A sensual delight, with cranberry, raspberry, fresh roses, balsamic, iron minerality and camphor teasing the senses. All about finezza and freschezza. Ethereal, unhurried yet persistent till the end, with quiet authority and depth in flavour that defy such finely-sculpted frame. One for the ages, and cellar, if the divine '01 is anything to go by. Transcendent. — ★★★★

Critic Reviews:
Magnificent perfume here. From nose to tail, this wine has it all. So finely wrought, with impeccable balance, dried flowers, raspberry and cherry, all the spice, extreme ‘mineral’ character to acidity and tightly wound tannin, such tension and freshness, with a superb long finish. Quiet succulence. Extraordinary.
