Wine Enthusiast
Reviewed July 2020Aromas of woodland berry, underbrush, hazelnut and camphor form the nose along with a whiff of rose petal on this captivating, delicious wine. The full-bodied structured palate is still young and primary but already shows raspberry compote, ripe Marasca cherry, star anise, tobacco and the barest hint of game. Tightly knit noble tannins and fresh acidity provide the firm frame and impart serious aging potential. Hold for even more complexity. *Cellar Selection* (KO)

Wine Advocate
All of these wines from Cavallotto deliver a very floral and perfumed subtext that gives lift and delicate buoyancy to the overall bouquet. This is the Castiglione Falletto magic that shows so well in this classic vintage. The 2016 Barolo Bricco Boschis offers dried cherry, sandalwood, bramble and forest floor. The wine reveals a slightly wild and untamed character that adds to its interest and personality. Overall, this is an elegant wine with a streamlined and elegant finish. The aromas are focused and bright. I can't wait to taste the Riserva expression from this site when it is released in three years' time. (ML)

Wine Spectator
The core of cherry and currant is framed by notes of hay, eucalyptus and wild thyme, with a solid structure that leaves a dusty feel, offset by the sweet, ripe fruit. Balanced overall, this is built for the long haul. (BS) *#8 Wine of the Year 2021*

Wine & Spirits
Enticing aromas of soft roses and fresh thyme lead into an explosion of fruit, as flavors of juicy red cherry, pomegranate and blood orange surge forward on waves of brisk acidity. The wine’s energy and focus are immensely appealing, yet the tautly drawn tannins will benefit from some bottle age.
