James Suckling – Vivid aromas of strawberries, oranges and peach skins with some cherries and cedar. Medium body, tight and firm with a fresh and vivid finish. Needs time to soften.

James Suckling – A lot of fruit purity in the nose with ripe strawberries, flowers and some crushed stones. Full-bodied with a solid core of fruit and so much power, yet it’s polished and focused and not aggressive. Give it three or four years of bottle age. Plenty of potential here. Try after 2025. 94 points.

James Suckling – This shows notes of spiced cherries, dried strawberry bush, chocolate, ground cloves and moist earth. Full-bodied, compact and steady with chocolaty texture and a firm grip of finely polished tannins. Lingering finish with earthy undertones. Better after 2025.

Wine Enthusiast – “Inviting aromas of sandalwood, blue flower, resin and mocha come to the forefront. The aromas follow through to the savory, rounded palate along with dried cherry, anisette and ground clove. It's polished and accessible, with fine-grained tannins. It closes on the warmth of alcohol. Drink through 2028” - Kerin O’ Keefe, Wine Enthusiast

James Suckling – Very fresh and linear with a fine and polished tannin structure. Medium- to full-bodied, crisp and bright. A delicious finish.

James Suckling – An attractive nose, with dense floral notes to color the ripe red berries and cherries. Hints of white nuts and apricot skins add to the appeal. The same enticing fruit mix on the palate, too, with an easy bed of fine but loosely knit tannin that adds a luxurious note to the mouth-feel. All in all, this is quite an extravagant Barolo with loads to like now, but should age gracefully.

Robert Parker/Wine Advocate – With fruit from Roddi, the 2018 Barolo Bricco Ambrogio is open-knit and broad, and its aromas focus on dark fruit, ripe cherry and plum. This vintage does not have the extreme aromatic definition that we saw in past vintages, but it delivers a long and polished mouthfeel nonetheless. Best After 2024 - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
