Score 90/100 · Drink 2016-2022, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Oct 2017

Grasso's 1996 Barolo Bricco Manzoni shows well in this tasting. The flavors are bold and pungent, with good freshness that lifts the red cherry and pomegranate fruit. Hints of spice and mint add nuance throughout.

Score 91/100 · Drink 1999-2014, Robert Parker, Aug 1999

The 1996 Barolo Ciabot Manzoni offers a saturated ruby/purple color in addition to a sumptuous bouquet of truffles, saddle leather, black cherries, and floral scents. This expansive, full-bodied, chewy blockbuster is soft enough to be drunk early, but should age nicely for 15+ years. A Marc de Grazia Selection, various American importers, including Michael Skurnik, Syosset, NY; tel. (516) 677-9300, Vin Divino, Chicago, IL; tel. (773) 334-6700, and Estate Wines, Ltd., San Rafael, CA; tel. (415) 492-9411
