Boroli "Villero" Barolo 2019

Wine Spectator : 95 Points

(11/30/2023) Sweet cherry, berry, floral, mineral and tobacco flavors signal this sleek, elegant and structured Barolo, with vibrant acidity keeping it focused through the long finish. Shows superb balance and length, with a lingering aftertaste of bright red fruit. Best from 2027 through 2043. 450 cases made.

Wine Advocate : 94 Points

(8/24/2023) The Boroli 2019 Barolo Villero opens to mid-weight concentration with enough garnet shine to remind you of how pretty Nebbiolo can look in in the glass, especially when young. Villero reveals savory aromas of dark fruit, plum, spice, earth and leather. It draws its fruit from Castiglione Falletto and you can expect tighter structure for steady cellar aging as a result. Only 4,380 bottles will hit the market this fall. Drink Date: 2025 - 2042.

Decanter : 94 Points

(1/31/2023) With a south/southwest exposure, the portion of Villero managed by Boroli is just below the estate. The 2019 is earthy and restrained, austere on the nose as well as on the palate. Dill, tar, rhubarb and bergamot scents lead to a dense and velvety yet firm attack, with refreshing acidity. A powerful wine not without grace thanks to its clean, polished finish. Drinking Window: 2023 - 2045.
