"Cavallotto’s 2018 Barolo Bricco Boschis is a powerhouse. A blast of sweet dark cherry, menthol, licorice, gravel and incense hits the palate. Youthful and quite strapping in terms of its presence, the 2018 holds quite a bit of promise. That’s the good news. But readers will have to be patient, as the tannins are quite searing at this stage for a wine that has typically been a bit more...

"The 2016 Barolo Bricco Boschis is another gorgeous wine from Claudio Viberti. Sweet dark cherry, plum, lavender, spice, menthol, licorice and dark spice emerge gradually from behind a wall of brooding, potent tannins. This virile Barolo needs time to fully come together, although it will always remain big, dark and brooding in style." Antonio Galloni

The 2019 Barolo Bricco Boschis is laced with dried red cherry fruit, spice and strong savory accents. I find the flavors a bit dried out and the tannins overpowering, both of which penalize the wine's balance.
