92-95 Points | International Wine Cellar , November/December 2004

Good deep bright red. Captivating, highly nuanced nose offers red cherry, gunflint, spices, minerals and rose petal; calls to mind a great young Burgundy Rich, sweet, lush and mouthfilling, with complex flavors of strawberry, cherry, camphor and mint. Wonderfully vibrant, juicy wine with superb intensity and definition. Finishes very long and fruit-driven, with tannins that are firm but not hard. A superb Barolo that should be at its best between 2010 and 2018.
