Score 91/100 · Drink 2013-2018, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Apr 2012

The 2008 Barolo is very pretty in this vintage. Dark red cherries, flowers, mint and licorice are some of the many notes that take shape in the glass. Although quite feminine in style, this attractive Barolo has plenty of energy and focus. Hints of leather, plums, tobacco and spices wrap around the finish. Ferruccio Grimaldi makes his Barolo from vineyards in Terlo and Ravera. This is a terrific showing.
