"(2022) Justerini & Brooks has worked with the Scavino family for thirty years, the company run today by sisters Enrica and Elisa Scavino. This is one of the 'modernist' estates of Barolo, using smaller French oak barriques in the cellar, but also concentrated on improving vineyard practises. Pale to medium soft ruby in colour, there's a delicately and exotically spiced plum compote character here, the Barolo 'tar and roses' description fits well, but elegant and discreet. In the mouth it is fresh and direct. Oak is very under-played, this being driven by a lean, firm fruit focus and pert acids, the grip of tannins adding to the slightly austere feeling of the wine."

"Dark shining ruby red. Highly aromatic with dried roses, scent of cherries scent and a delicate savouriness, still slightly closed nose. More expressive on the palate with great fruit expression and soft texture, gentle drive, very juicy tannins spreads finely over the tongue, lovely elegant finish."

"Fragrant blue flower and perfumed berry aromas mingle with whiffs of dark culinary spice and forest floor. Tightly knit and loaded with finesse, the full-bodied palate features juicy cherry, strawberry compote, star anise and a hint of white pepper alongside taut, polished tannins. Fresh acidity keeps it balanced. Drink 2022?2030. Kerin O?Keefe"

"Red berry, violet, camphor and baking spice aromas waft out of the glass. On the linear, elegant palate, taut, fine-grained tannins offset dried cherry, orange rind, espresso and star anise alongside a mineral note evoking rusty iron. Drink 2020?2027. Kerin O?Keefe"

94 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Paolo Scavino Barolo DOCG" from the vintage 2013 on 01.07.2019 with 94 of 100 points.
"Enticing scents of iris, violet, menthol and exotic spice emerge in the glass. Elegant and fresh, the polished, delicious palate delivers juicy Marasca cherry, crushed raspberry and a potpourri of baking spices. It's beautifully balanced, with bright acidity and silky smooth tannins. While it's already accessible, it will also age for years. Drink 2018?2028."

"Reifes Rubin, oranger Rand. Sehr offene Nase, eine wahre Droge, wow, ungemein tief, verspielt, mit Noten von Kräuter, Tee, Rauch, Marzipan, exotischen Früchte, Erdbeeren, darüber florale Aromen, ein wahrer Schnüffelwein. Ausgezeichnet auch im Gaumen, straff, präzis, klar und sehr ausgewogen, schönes, gut integriertes Tannin, knackige Säure, rotfruchtige Aromen die an Kirschen und Walderdbeeren erinnern, würzig, energiegeladen und noch sehr lebendig. Im Abgang von ausgezeichneter Länge, endet auf reife Quitten. Das ist ein ausgezeichneter Barolo, Harmonie pur. Aktuell ein Hit, hat aber noch immer Reserven. Jetzt bis 2025, 19 vvPunkte (95/100)"

"Dark-skinned berry, baking spice and floral aromas float from the glass while the taut palate delivers crushed raspberry, licorice and chopped herb. Firm refined tannins provide the backbone. Drink 2020?2027."

"Enticing aromas of violet, rose, red berry, vineyard dust and alpine herbs float from the glass. The savory, bright palate delivers crushed Morello cherry, red raspberry, graphite and clove alongside polished tannins and brisk acidity. Already surprisingly accessible, it will be even better in a few years. Drink after 2018."

"This straight Barolo shows delicate floral and cherry aromas and a hint of underbrush. The linear palate shows restrained red fruit and hints of spice, but it lacks the richness to balance the aggressive and rather drying tannins."

"Intense from start to finish, Scavino's blended Barolo packs plenty of power into a lush, thoroughly modern frame. Toasty oak embraces the fruit without obscuring it, allowing flavors of cherry liqueur to burst across the palate. Tempting now, better in 5?7 years."
