Score 90/100 · Drink 2013-2018, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Jun 2011

The 2000 Barolo Percristina has held up well. It shows considerable freshness in its dark red fruit, leather, licorice and sweet spices. The French oak remains very much present. It's hard to see the fruit lasting long enough for the oak to every truly integrate.

Score 93/100 · Drink 2013-2016, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Oct 2006

This bottle of the 2000 Barolo Percristina is the most convincing of the three I have tasted so far. It offers intense, exotic sensations of super-ripe fruit, menthol and minerals, with an opulent open-knit personality and superb persistence on the palate. Hard to resist now, it will be even better in a few years.

Score 92/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, Nov 2004

The most complex today on the nose of Clerico's three 2000 Barolos, with notes of smoky red fruits and nuts. Sweet, smooth and seamless, with a glyceral texture that really captures the richness of the vintage. Highly concentrated wine but without the sheer verve and grip of the '99. Finishes with big, rich tannins and impressive length.
