Score 91-93/100 · Drink 2008-2025, Robert Parker, Aug 1999

The greatness of the 1996 vintage is obvious in the saturated ruby/purple colors of Codero's wines. The 1996 Barolo Monfalletto reveals lots of mineral and new saddle leather scents in addition to black raspberries, cherries, tar, and rose petals. Extremely full-bodied, with new oak coming through in the flavors, this powerful, multi-dimensional, sensational Barolo should offer thrilling drinking after a decade of cellaring. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2025. Importer: Empson, USA, Alexandria, VA; tel. (703) 684-0900; Bertin Henri Selections, 10900 NW 21st St, Unit 180, Doral, FL 33172; tel: (305) 343-4054
