Paolo Scavino - Barolo Carobric 2016
Wine Advocate: 97 Points
Sadly, we are seeing the last vintages of this wine that is expected to be discontinued after the 2018 vintage. The Paolo Scavino 2016 Barolo Carobric represents a historic blend of fruit from Rocche di Castiglione, Cannubi and Bric dël Fiasc. Because the lease on Cannubi was not renewed, Carobric lost one of its fundamental building blocks. Cannubi brought richness, generous flavors and textural suppleness to the final blend. If you are a fan of this wine, I suggest you stock up on this vintage that is poised to be one of the most memorable and age-worthy among this group of final releases. This classic vintage is rich with dark fruit, licorice, truffle-infused earth and a pretty touch of sweet hazelnut cream.
Vinous: 95 Points
The 2016 Barolo Carobric is fabulous. Nervous and tightly wound, the Carobric offers up a beguiling mix of crushed flowers, herbs, mint and red berry friut. There is a feeling of explosive energy that runs throught the 2016 that gives its tremendous appeal. Carobric, a blend of fruit from Rocche di Castiglione, Cannubi and Bric del Fiasc, is a bit less showy than some of the other Barolos in the Scavino range, but it has historically aged beautifully. I expect that will be the case here as well.
Wine Spectator: 94 Points
This aromatic red boasts licorice, macerated cherry, rose and vanilla scents and flavors. A showy version, this is opulent and velvety in texture, offering fine concentration and firming up on the finish, where an accent of sweet spice lingers. Best from 2023 through 2042. 500 cases made, 150 cases imported. — BS
