Critics Ratings

'Loads of ripe plum character that verges on prune. Full and rich, with soft tannins and very ripe fruit. Long and velvety. Slightly raisiny character.' - Wine Spectator, 92/100 (Dec 2008)

'Textured, powerful, and concentrated is the 1998 Barolo Colonnello. Offering aromas and flavors of roasted coffee, new saddle leather, black cherry jam, underbrush, earth, and spice box, this tightly-structured, full-bodied, dense, impressively-extracted wine needs cellaring. Anticipated maturity: 2006-2020.' - Robert Parker Jr, Wine Advocate, 90-92/100 (Oct 2001)
