Score 93/100 · Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Nov 2000

Impressively saturated ruby-red. Superb Barolo perfume of black cherry, raspberry, green tobacco, marzipan, shoe polish and camphor. Very concentrated but extremely closed; dominated today by its powerful acids and tannic spine. Austere menthol and herbal notes. But offers great flavor intensity and captivating inner-mouth rose petal perfume. Best today on the extremely long, subtle, slow-building finish. May never match the Sori Ginestra for sheer size, but offers great class and grip. (ST) 93+
