Score 88/100 · Drink 2001-2011, Robert Parker, Oct 2001
This excellent, fat, juicy, silky-textured 1998 Barolo is unusually evolved and forward. It exhibits a dark garnet color as well as copious quantities of smoky, weedy, cherry fruit intermixed with tobacco and damp earth. Chewy, plump, and surprisingly opulent, it will drink well over the next decade. Importer: Vias Imports, New York, NY; tel. (212) 629-0200
