The nose is deeply perfumed, noble and magnetic. Layers of violets, macerated wild roses and ripe strawberry intertwine with red and dark cherry, blueberry, a touch of mint, white truffle, star anice and wild fennel. With time, this high-pitched bouquet deepens into notes of crushed stone and a hint of tamarind.  On the palate, the wine is monumental yet remarkably elegant. Dense aromas of violet and cherry merge with a dark mineral edge, touches of orange, wild fennel and a subtle saline note. The tannins are refined, appearing and receding like the weave of a tapestry. The finish is enduring, lingering gracefully into the next sip.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCritics thoughts -\u003c\/strong\u003e A jeweled ruby color, the 2022 Barolo Bricco delle Viole saw one of the largest crop losses in the vintage, with roughly 20 to 30 percent of the fruit lost. Aromas of cherry cordial, framboise, preserved roses, and fresh lavender lead into a stunning palate that is pure, long, and beautifully balanced. As is often the case, this cuvée stands out in the range and may well be among the highlights of the vintage across the region. \u003cstrong\u003e 98+ Jeb Dunnuck \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eA very absorbing nose, showing flowers, passion fruit, sandalwood and crunchy red berries. The palate is medium- to full-bodied, with a detailed, precise tannin structure and tender fruit, finishing firm and focused.

It opens with aromas of cake spice, baked plum, wild cherry and new leather. On the bold, enveloping palate, velvety tannins accompany succulent Marasca cherry, licorice, tobacco and vanilla before a blood orange finish.  Tangy acidity keeps it lifted.  \u003cstrong\u003e96 points Kerin O'Keefe\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"G.D.
