Cavallotto Barolo Bricco Boschis 2015 (750ML)

96 WA / 96 WE / 94 WS / 17+ JR

I had tasted this wine from barrel last year, and the wine was already shaping up beautifully back then. Staying the course, the 2015 Barolo Bricco Boschis shows extreme elegance and finesse. These are the characteristics of what is surely one of the most beautiful vineyard sites in Barolo. The Bricco Boschis cru affords a panoramic view onto much of the Langhe, with snowcapped Alps in the background. Barolo from Castiglione Falletto tends to show characteristics that are very fine, precise and linear. That's fundamentally what you get here despite the more exuberant and fleshy 2015 vintage. This wine is truly beautiful. Some 27,700 bottles were made.. Monica Larner – The Wine Advocate

Aromas of leather, forest floor, mature black-skinned berry, graphite and pipe tobacco form the nose on this classic expression of Barolo. On the structured, delicious palate, taut, polished tannins support juicy Marasca cherry, crushed raspberry, licorice and menthol, while fresh acidity keeps it balanced. It closes on a note of brown spice. Best 2020–2030. Kerin O’Keefe - Wine Enthusiast

Mint, eucalyptus, cherry, plum and licorice notes mark this savory style of Barolo. Dense tannins pave the way for a long finish that echoes the cherry flavors and adds mineral and tobacco elements. Still a little rigid on the finish, yet shows fine balance overall. Best from 2023 through 2040. 2,312 cases made, 700 cases imported. — BS – Wine Spectator

Castiglione Falletto. Tasted blind. Deep ruby with orange tinges. A balsamic nose redolent of iron, cherry and with a touch of tobacco leaf and cinnamon bark. Supple and round but with good depth too and powdery tannins powerfully building up on the finish. (WS) Walter Speller – Jancis Robinson.com
