James Suckling
Bright garnet color and deep, intense nose of watermelon, mint, fresh violets and stony minerality. The palate is full of sucrosity with a full body, lifted acidity and firm velvety tannins of rare grace for a wine with this power. Perfectly integrate oak and a stern finish as expected from a Barolo made for the long haul. Try from 2027.

Antonio Galloni MW - Vinous
The 2020 Barolo Colonnello is a big, strapping wine. Dark-fleshed fruit, new leather, licorice, herbs, menthol, licorice and torrefaction amplify the wine's natural breadth. The Colonnello offers an intriguing mix of forward fruit and supporting structure. New oak notes are perhaps a bit strong, but that's a relatively small quibble at this level.
