The value that this wine represents is unbelievable, from a terrific vintage and a talented vineyard. Dense yet elegant with dried dark fruits, evocative flavors of coffee, anise and rose petals.
WE 91 Soft and very fruity, with plum and berry character. Medium-to-full-bodied, with soft tannins and a cherry, plum and berry aftertaste. Delicious already. Best after 2005. -James Suckling, Wine Spectator, Score: 91
WA 88-90 This modern, barrique-styled Barolo is a soft, sexy, dark ruby/purple-colored, well-textured, impressively rich effort offering copious quantities of sweet black cherry fruit mixed with toasty new oak. Clean, ripe, and concentrated, with both depth and personality, it will drink well for a decade. -Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, Score: 88-90.
