Score 89/100 · Drink 2003-2014, Robert Parker, Aug 1999
The 1996 Barolo exhibits minerality, along with black cherries and melted road tar. Medium to full-bodied, spicy, rich, and potentially very good, it is foursquare and simple. Perhaps more complexity will emerge with bottle age. Anticipated maturity: 2003-2014. Importer: A Leonardo LoCascio Selection, Winebow, Inc., Hohokus, NJ; tel. (201) 445-0620
