Paolo Scavino Barolo Prapo 2021
DOZEN: $2,754.00 or $229.50 each
Paolo Scavino has crushed the 2021 vintage for its Barolos and the family's Prapò is another gorgeous showing. It opens with intense aromas of ripe dark-skinned berry, star anise, violet and new leather. Showing its Serralunga roots, the structured, full-bodied palate features a backbone of firm, fine-grained tannins that support ripe red cherry, cranberry, star anise and mocha before a cool, mentholated finish. Bright acidity provides balance and great tension. Promising great longevity, it's youthfully austere at this stage and will benefit from more cellaring. (97) KERIN OKEEFE
This shows aromas of violets, crushed stones and dried cranberries. The palate is medium-bodied with caressing, chewy tannins and attractive fruit that will have to briefly wait for the tannins to recede. A solid wine. Better wait a few years to fully enjoy this exceptional wine. (95) ALDO FIORDELLI, Jamessuckling.com
