Score 90-93/100 · Drink 2005-2022, Robert Parker, Aug 1999

The 1996 Barolo Colonnello is aromatic, offering scents of melted asphalt, cedar, tobacco, spice box, and assorted red and black fruits. Following a soft entry, the immense richness, fleshy, full-bodied power of this wine became apparent. The finish offers considerable tannic clout and power. Anticipated maturity: 2005-2022. Importer: Vias Imports, New York, NY; tel. (212) 629-0200
