Score 90-92/100 · Drink 2005-2020, Robert Parker, Aug 1999

The ruby/purple-colored, mineral-dominated 1996 Barolo Sori Ginestra offers spicy oak in the nose, as well as attractive black cherry fruit intertwined with prunes, and toasty oak. With moderate levels of glycerin, full body, high tannin, excellent purity as well as superb richness and extract, this layered wine requires cellaring. Anticipated maturity: 2005-2020.
