Monica Larner - Robert Parker Wine Advocate
The 2014 Barolo Carobric is a real stunner. I had been less convinced by recent past vintages of Carobric, but to my great surprise and delight, I found this vintage—a difficult one at that—to show classic, well-balanced lines. Fruit is sourced from three crus, Rocche di Castiglione, Cannubi and Bric dël Fiasc, with Rocche di Castiglione representing the biggest part of the blend. This wine takes us to the very heart and soul of the Barolo appellation. It represents seamless unity between three extraordinary vineyards: the Rocche di Castiglione fruit evidently gives the wine structure and depth, Cannubi and its sandy soils adds the floral and fruit fragrances and the fruit from Fiasco lends color and density. Carobric gives it all.

Kerin O'Keefe - Wine Enthusiast
Aromas of fragrant purple flower, wild berry and a whiff of exotic spice lead the nose. On the taut structured palate, tight fine-grained tannins offset cherry, pomegranate, star anise and a hint of espresso while bright acidity lends energy and balance. It's still youthfully austere and needs a few years to unwind. Drink after 2023.

James Suckling
Licorice and asphalt aromas with ripe fruit and walnut undertones. Full body, round and chewy tannins and a flavorful finish. A little fluid in the center palate.

Wine Spectator
Black cherry and plum fruit is shaded by vanilla and eucalyptus notes in this sinewy version. Though sleek and vibrant, this offers a finish girded by beefy tannins.
Antonio Galloni MW - Vinous
The 2014 Barolo Carobric is washed out, compact and lacking in depth. There is just not much there, except for a sheen of French oak.
