Giovanni Sordo - Barolo 'Monprivato' DOCG - 2019

There’s a sense of freshness and precision through all the 2019 Sordo wines. Quite a theme. Quite a pretty wine here, despite the pedigree and potential. Almost a juiciness to the wine with the web of ultra fine al dente tannin. It has some potency to flavour, dark cherry-led with turned earth, hazelnut, dried cranberry, cola and fennel. It has a kind of mouth perfume, floral, dried and fresh, sour cherry, truffle; it elevates on a sense of freshness and drives long, long, long. Architectural expression and set for a serious future. 96+ Points Mike Bennie, The Wine Front
