Score 90/100 · Drink 2023-2038, Monica Larner, Wine Advocate, Aug 2022

Luigi Scavino's classic Barolo shows a sweet spot on the bouquet with baked cherry and sweet plum. The Azelia 2018 Barolo does not show the depth or complexity of past vintages; however, the wine offers lots of basic Nebbiolo crispness and plenty of wild berry flavors. There are earthy notes on the close with some light spice.

The 2018 Barolo is a light-bodied, easygoing wine to drink now and over the next few years. Sweet dried cherry, spice, orange peel, tobacco and spice are all laced together. The 2018 is open and ready to drink. I would prefer to drink this over the next handful of years before the fruit fades. The straight Barolo is a blend of seven parcels in Castiglione Falletto and Serralunga d'Alba.
