A clear ruby red color, with very light orange reflections. A net aroma in which licorice stands out at first, immediately followed by a fruity scent; the aroma makes you scent it again and again to discover different and pleasant facets. The fruity aroma magnificently prevails after a few minutes in the glass. A very enveloping, fresh and harmonious taste, with a delicate and tasty presence of wood. A long lasting taste that invites to sip it slowly again and again. Wine spectator: 94 This red is a tussle between sweet, ripe cherry and strawberry fruit, tobacco and mineral flavors and dense, aggressive tannins. Still restrained today, but the long finish of fruit and savory notes shows potential. Best from 2022 through 2042. Decanter: 93 The wealthy Boroli family acquired this property in the 1990s, but in recent years some vineyards have been sold off. Brunella in Castiglione Falletto is a monopole of the estate, and the wine is aged in both barriques and tonneaux. The nose is lifted and perfumed, with aromas of raspberries and dried herbs. It's velvety, concentrated and full-bodied, with polished tannins and delicate acidity. Robert Parker: 91 This is the first vintage of this new wine from Boroli. The 2013 Barolo Brunella is an austere and dry expression of Nebbiolo. Dried fruit, spice and licorice emerge from the bouquet. In the mouth, the wine is balanced, fresh and elegant. This is a very pretty cru expression with a long and clean finish.
