Jeb Dunnuck (94)- "From higher-elevation 70-year-old vines in the same area as Garretti, the 2022 Barolo Campè pours a slightly deeper ruby hue. Aromas of smoky incense, cherry cordial, orange oil, and mineral tones lead the profile. Medium to full-bodied, it carries broader shoulders and noble structure without heaviness, though the tannins remain firm and rather drying at this stage. While I wouldn’t hold out for it to soften much, it should reward some patience. Drink 2027-2040."
James Suckling (93)- "The nose is dominated by a combination of orange rind and dried flowers with an underlying peachy note. The palate shows juicy fruit complemented by angular, integrated and chalky tannins, creating a harmonious profile. Already approachable with proper aeration."
Jeb Dunnuck (95)- "The 2021 Barolo Campe Vursu is a medium matte-red hue and leads with a wonderfully mineral-inflected, saturating nose of crushed stones, dried cherry, pine, spice, and wild herbs. The palate offers full-bodied structure, balanced richness, and ripe tannins that have a more rounded feel through the mid-palate. Campe comes from the vineyard's more exposed, higher section, whereas Garretti comes from the hill's lower slopes. Usually, they (consumers) buy Garretti for its approachability. However, the 2021 wines are somewhat flipped, with Garretti offering more nervous energy, and while the Campe is still structured, with the potential for longevity, it has a more velvety and approachable texture that fleshes out with air and makes it quite appealing. Drink 2026-2046."
