Score 87/100 · Drink 2011, Robert Parker, Aug 1999
The dark ruby-colored 1995 Barolo Cicala possesses a muted but promising nose of spice box, cedar, tobacco, and cherry fruit. It exhibits good ripeness, medium body, high tannin, and noticeable yet subtle oak. This very good 1995 can be drunk now as well as over the next 10-12 years.

Similar color. Less evolved nose hints at plum, raspberry, licorice and a faint roasted character. Very closed in the mouth, but even more tactile and concentrated than the above. Bright and delineated, but also more tannic and powerful.
