Score 90/100 · Drink 2017-2024, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Nov 2016

The 2012 Barolo Vigna Rionda is rich, unctuous and powerful. The ripest and most voluptuous of the 2012s, the Vigna Rionda offers notable depth and mid-palate creaminess. The flavors are bright and perfumed, but there aren't a whole of vineyard signatures at the moment. It will be interesting to see if those develop over time. The 2012 is a very nice and expressive Barolo if taken on its own terms.

Rich and powerful, with a mouthful of plum, cherry, leather and tobacco flavors. Tar, tea and iron notes enter the fray as this unwinds on the long, savory finish. Shows complexity and detail that should only emerge fully with age. Mar 2017, www.winespectator.com, Drink: 2020-2036
