Vinous 94 Points

The 2016 Barolo Castelletto, the sole Veglio wine from Monforte, is always an outlier stylistically in the range, but in 2016 that difference is especially evident. Dark, rich and beguiling in its beauty, the 2016 has so much going on. Black cherry, plum, chocolate, licorice, menthol and spice all flesh out in this strapping, virile Barolo. I would give the 2016 a few years to come into its own.
