Wine Enthusiast: 94 Points
Focused aromas of wild strawberry and raspberry combined with fresh bay leaf, wildflowers and sandalwood rise from the glass of this serious wine. Flavors of cranberry and tart cherry pop off the vibrant palate with notes of leather and tea finishing with supple tannins and a persistent minerality.
Vinous: 93 Points
The 2020 Barbaresco Bric Turot is one of the most elegant wines I have tasted from Prunotto of late. Medium in body, yet quite layered, with terrific freshness, the 2020 impresses with its stature and fine balance. In the best Barbaresco tradition, the Bric Turot offers tons of flavor intensity but with no excess with. Spice, crushed flowers, leather, cedar, menthol and crushed rocks linger on the persistent finish.
James Suckling: 93 Points
Crunchy and fruity with very fine tannins and bright raspberry, cherry and spice aromas and flavors. Makes you want to drink it now but it should age nicely. Citrus at the end.
Wine Spectator: 92 Points
This red delivers sufficient cherry, strawberry and hibiscus flavors, augmented by eucalyptus and grassy notes. Turns leaner and firmer on the finish, where sanguine and iron accents add detail. Graceful and multifaceted.
Wine Advocate: 91 Points
One of the historic wines made by the Marchesi Antinori-owned Prunotto (with a winery outside of Alba), this is a lean and streamlined expression with mild aromas of dried cherry and redcurrant. The bouquet comes off as rather simple, although there are some spices and savory tones to add depth. I find this wine to be rather one-dimensional and stripped-down in terms of mouthfeel. It offers a good portrait of Nebbiolo but with only some of the magic.
