Score 90/100 · Drink 2013-2016, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Oct 2006

Pira's 2001 Barolo Margheria, a medium ruby, offers a super-fine, perfumed nose of spices, vanilla and menthol. Today it is austere and inexpressive on the palate showing just a hint of ripe red fruit, but displaying good length. Although some rough edges remain, it seems to offer outstanding potential. Aged 25% in barriques and 75% in 25 hectoliter casks.

Score 89/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, Nov 2004

Good deep red. Superripe aromas of raspberry and nutty oak. Sweet, lush and rich, with the nutty character carrying through on the palate. Large-scaled, full, silky Barolo with considerable early appeal. Finishes with ripe, sweet tannins and very good length.
