The 2013 Barolo Ravera is dark, powerful and inviting. Here the flavors tend towards the darker end of Nebbiolo spectrum, with firm supporting tannins that add to an impression of power. Sweet spice, leather and plum notes develop as the wine gains volume in the glass. Today, the 2013 is powerful and tightly wound. Historically, the Ravera has needed a few years to unwind. I expect that will be the case here as well. 93+ points

Novello. Deep ruby with orange tinges. Deeper and a little richer on the nose than the 2013 Cascina Nuova. Beautiful depth with spice notes. Huge structure, yet polished and fine. This will need plenty of time. 17.5 points

Wild berry, iris, rose and a potpourri of culinary spice aromas emerge on the nose of this stunning red. Radiant and full bodied, the palate is young and primary at this stage but already evokes morello cherry, licorice, pipe tobacco and aromatic herbs. Bright acidity and taut tannins provide impeccable balance and an imp eccable balance and an impressive, age-worthy structure. 97 points, Kerin O`Keefe, winemag.com
