Kerin O'Keefe: 97 Points
You could spend all day just taking in the multifaceted aromas on the stunning Bricco Pernice from Elvio Cogno that include forest floor crushed mint new leather cake spice and blue flower. Smooth and full-bodied the delicious palate delivers ripe Morello cherry raspberry compote cinnamon licorice and a dollop of vanilla accompanied by a backbone of velvety fine-grained tannins. A stunning wine that while already so tempting will be even better in a few years. Drink 2027?2039. Abv: 14.5% Kerin O?Keefe April 2024 ©kerinokeefe.com

Cherry plum tar tobacco and wild herb flavors permeate this muscular red which is on the austere side today not yielding much fruit with a dense base of beefy tannins. The superlong iron-infused finish shows this wine's future potential so keep your hands off for now. Best from 2030 through 2050. 425 cases made 75 cases imported. - Bruce Sanderson

The Elvio Cogno 2019 Barolo Ravera Bricco Pernice starts off with earthy notes with the fruity ones pouring in a little later. You get potting soil bow resin a hint of petroleum blue bells and mountain flowers. Fruit-wise there is plenty of plum and blackcurrant. There is an almost green tone of rhubarb or cruciferous vegetable. The Bricco Pernice cleans up in the mouth with super grippy tannins that need more bottle age. Only 5000 bottles were made.
