Why We're Buying
Cavallotto Bricco Boschis has a distinctive floral and perfumed nose. That inviting bouquet parlays into a full body built around a core of red cherries and red currants. Thyme, tobacco, rose petals, anise, and sandalwood frame this Barolo, providing the structure and complexity necessary for long-term cellaring. Wine critic Kerin O'Keefe gave the 2016 vintage a 99-point rating and called it a must-have for any cellar.
Critics Scores
Vinous
The 2008 Barolo Bricco Boschis is highly representative of the vintage. A rich, dark, powerful wine, the 2008 also boasts tons of inner sweetness and perfume. Despite its considerable appeal, the 2008 is a wine that today is dominated by its structure and the cool vibrancy that is the hallmark of the year. This is far from an easy going entry-level Barolo. Readers would do well to forget about the 2008 for at least five years, but that may not be enough.
