Tasting Notes

The 2020 Barolo Gavarini Chiniera is every bit as impressive as it was a year ago. It shows all of the strong exotic citrus and spice character I saw back then. On the palate, I find the 2020 a bit closed today, which is probably a good sign for its long-term prospects. This is certainly not an easygoing or open-knit 2020. Readers should plan on being patient. The Gavarini Chiniera is a Barolo of substance and presence. 97pts. Drink 2028-2040. Antonio Galloni for Vinous
