James Suckling (98)- "Austere and complex with stunning depth and minerality. The nose shines with clay, cured meat and a fresh, exquisite mix of sweet violets, red currants and blood oranges, as well as a subtle layer of licorice. Full-bodied and well-woven with great tannins, this is ripe, velvety and salty, showing crisp acidity and chewy character. Graphite aftertaste. Drink upon spring release, but best after 2026."
Decanter Magazine (95)- "While the 2022 Mosconi may not have the sheer profundity or textural complexity of the 2021, it is still magnificently detailed and velvety in mouthfeel. Forest undergrowth, mace and cured leather permeate throughout, bringing a richness to the mature fruit. Dried cherry is swaddled in layers of silky tannins, while tangy rust and salty minerals make the mouth water. Freshness meets seduction. Recognizing that the grapes arrived at harvest after prolonged stress, Chiara Boschis tried to create the opposite. She kept temperatures low to draw out fermentations and gave slow, delicate punch downs less often."
Vinous (93)- "The 2022 Barolo Mosconi is a bold, savory wine. Dried herbs, mint, incense, licorice, tobacco and spice are finely delineated. Underlying veins of tannin are classic Mosconi. The 2022 shows good site character, but it is also quite understated. There's good energy and vibrancy, though, enough to make me think all this needs is time in bottle. Bracing mineral notes extend the finish."
