Bruno Besa | Garnet to tawny. Fairly restrained, elegant nose, with prunes, black cherries, smoke, black tea, road tar, and hazelnuts. Medium to full body, with integrated tannins and ripe prune and blackberry finish. | 91

Andrew Jefford | Relatively dark in color, with earthy, rather torpid aromas. Sturdy but unsophisticated Barolo on the palate, but great fun to drink at the right price before long. | 83

Michael Palij | Complex nose, with both red and black fruit on both nose and palate. In the mouth, this shows distinct layers of flavor, with the red fruit and balsamic notes in balance. The acidity and tannins are both in harmony, with fruit leading to an exemplary finish. Excellent. | 94
