A savory, aged quality marks this Barolo, recalling candied fruit, prune, leather and old spice. It is very firm and tannic with a velvety finish. Pair it with stewed beef or spicy marinated pork. — (9/1/2012) —89

From the Novello area of Barolo, this beautiful expression from Piedmont shows elegance, complexity and smoky aromas of cigar box, toasted almond and dried fruit. It offers a tight, focused finish that is driven forward by firm, drying tannins. Drink in five years or more. ——M.L.(9/1/2011)—— 90

This base Barolo offers upfront aromas of tealeaf, moist tobacco, apple skin, cedar wood, white cherry and wild berry. Those notes are overlapped and tangled yet the wine finds balance in the mouth thanks to the supporting role of tannins and acidity. Overall, this is a fresh, traditional and direct expression of Nebbiolo.——M.L.(4/1/2009)—— 88

A fine example of a Barolo, and a marvel considering the problems of the 2002 harvest. The fruit is dark and juicy with plenty of concentration, with the added complexity of roses and pencil shavings. Nicely textured, with a medium to long finish. Imported by Global E.

Supple and oaky, this modern-style Barolo boasts ample plum fruit that’s backed by cinnamon, vanilla and toast. A solid restaurant Barolo, not needing years to reach its peak. ——J.C.(11/15/2004)—— 86
