94(+?) Points | International Wine Cellar , November/December 2011

Good medium red.  Spicy aromas and flavors of musky minerals, dried flowers and black pepper.  Much more backward and austere than the Rocche, but with a classic dryness and superb precision.  Not yet generous or pleasurable but this dry, powerfully tannic wine has the sheer intensity and underlying mineral spine to reward extended cellaring.  A bit like a Rhone wine in nebbiolo clothing.  Luca Currado noted that "the fruit must be brilliant for a Barolo to age a long time."
