The 2018 Barolo Mosconi Vigna Ped comes across as a bit light for this cru, where the wines are generally bigger and deeper. Even so, all the elements are so well balanced. Cedar, sweet pipe tobacco and crushed flowers lend wonderful aromatic nuance. The 2018 is unusually transparent, but that's not a bad thing at all, as Mosconi Barolos are typically brutes.Inc.

(from vines averaging 30 years of age): Bright, deep red. Ripe, minerally aromas of cherry liqueur, spun sugar, mocha, flowers and sweet oak. Wonderfully fat, sweet, creamy and full, especially in the context of this vintage. Saturates the palate with a wave of raspberry, mocha and truffle flavors. Remarkably showy already but this should be a cellar treasure. Finishes with extremely refined tannins and outstanding length. A baby today, even if its high quality is easy to see. Guido Fantino describes 2008 as an unbelievable vintage, with a near-perfect vegetative cycle, and perfect day-night temperature differences.Inc. VAT£1,801.78 -

Broad tannins wrap around the wine's natural breadth, but are nicely integrated. Black cherry, gravel, spice, menthol and licorice all build over time, filling out the layers effortlessly. Readers will find a dark, brooding Barolo of real substance and power, with the context of the year.Inc. VAT£578.69 -
