E. Pira & Figli - Chiara Boschis Mosconi Barolo DOCG, Italy 2020
Wine Advocate: 96 Points
The E. Pira e Figli - Chiara Boschis 2020 Barolo Mosconi has some of the extra ripeness of the vintage with cherry cream syrup, grenadine, watermelon candy and a drop of Pastis. The wine ends on a powerful note with a balanced combination of fruit and fine oak tannins. The palate is very alive, and the fruit feels very vibrant at this young stage. Some 9,000 bottles were made.
James Suckling: 95 Points
Quite a ripe and intense nose with spiced orange citrus with walnut husks and a hint of hazelnut and black licorice. Tight and full-bodied on the palate with a mouthful of dusty tannins that grow, leaving a very rich and spicy finish. Lots of richness here but the finesse comes through as you let it breathe more. Drink from 2027.
Vinous: 95 Points
The 2020 Barolo Mosconi is a powerful, savory wine. Black cherry, gravel, incense, menthol and licorice all build in this virile, strapping Monforte Barolo. Ample and authoritative, the 2020 has a ton to offer. Savory herbs, earthiness and strong mineral notes infuse the substantial finish. Superb.
