" Wine Spectator 98
The best wine ever from Clerico and one of the best textbook Barolos I have ever tasted. Dark, with amazing aromas of crushed berries, flowers and spices, plus a mineral undertone. Full-bodied, with super, well-integrated tannins...”
“ Robert M. Parker Jr. 94
...scents of lead pencil, cedar, black fruits, smoke, earth, and vanilla. Massive richness, monster extract, sweet tannin, and a blockbuster finish characterize this dazzling, 20-30 year wine. Anticipated maturity: 2005-2025.”

"Dark ruby, with a garnet edge. Violet, toasty oak, blackberry and plum. Full-bodied, with amazing fruit and super-ripe tannins. It's velvety and powerful. Still needs a lot of time. Spellbinding. Huge.--1997 Italian blind retrospective. Best after 2010"
