Score 90/100 · Drink 2002-2016, Robert Parker, Jun 2001

Grasso's 1997 Barolo Ciabot Manzoni's dark ruby color reveals some amber at the edge. It possesses a forward, medium to full-bodied character with plenty of leather and brandied cherry notes, high glycerin levels, and a velvety texture. A tannic finish suggests another 1-2 years of cellaring is warranted. Anticipated maturity: 2002-2016.

Deep ruby-red. Vibrant, spicy aromas of blueberry, raspberry, shoe polish and chocolate. Lush, sweet and thick, but oak spice and sound acidity give it a sappy quality. Impressively concentrated. Finishes with a wave of tannins that showed a slight dryness with aeration.
