Product: The 2019 Barolo Castellero has an alluring bouquet - crushed mint and rose petals, fresh leather - harmonising with intense wild berry aromas. It’s full-bodied and shows the restraint of its youth. The palate is plump and dense with ripe cherry, strawberry compote, and star anise along with elegant tannins that will unwind nicely with time. - 93 pts. Antonio Galloni, Vinous
