Score 89/100 · Drink 2013-2014, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, May 2006

Medium ruby. This Barolo normale offers heady notes of super-ripe red fruit, licorice, roasted coffee beans and toasted oak on a medium-bodied with good length and balance, although it can't match the sheer appeal of the 2000 or 2001. Already fairly approachable with some air, it should drink well to age 15.

Score 89/100 · Drink 2004-2014, Daniel Thomases, Wine Advocate, Oct 2003

The 1999 Barolo is far more than a regular bottling. A full garnet with raisins, plums, and chocolate on the nose, its depth, freshness, and velvet add up to much immediate drinking pleasure. Anticipated maturity: 2004-2014. A Marc de Grazia Selection, various American importers, including Michael Skurnik, Syosset, NY; tel. (516) 677-9300, Vin Divino, Chicago, IL; tel.

Medium red. Plum, nuts, tobacco and camphor on the nose. Sweet, intensely flavored and bright, with a strong spicy character and very good delineation. A serious, youthful, fairly powerful Barolo normale, finishing with sweet but firm tannins and good grip.
