Marchesi di Barolo Barolo Coste di Rose 2017

93 Points James Suckling Ripe cherry with some candied watermelon, stone and rose petal follow through to a full body with chewy tannins that have intensity and muscle. Intense finish. Needs time to soften. 

92 Points Wine Enthusiast Fragrant purple flower, dark spice and camphor aromas form the inviting nose. Elegant and structured, the polished palate features raspberry compote, orange zest, baking spice and licorice framed in taut, refined tannins. 

91 Points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate The Marchesi di Barolo 2017 Barolo Coste di Rose serves up fun hints of eucalyptus and medicinal herb with rosemary essence and cola. That's what sets this wine apart, and of course, there is plenty of dark fruit and dried cherry at its core. The finish is smooth and silky with moderate length. Of these new Marchesi di Barolo releases from 2017, this has the most character, but the finish is shorter
