Pecchenino Le Coste di Monforte Barolo 2020

Ripe cherries and raspberries with notes of chocolate, dried orange peel and hints of sandalwood. Firm but bright and juicy with vivid acidity that drives the energy. Medium- to full-bodied. Vibrant and chalky in the end. Better after 2028 [and will evolve into mid-2040s]. Score – 95. (jamessuckling.com, April 30, 2024)
