Score 93/100 · Drink 2001-2019, Robert Parker, Jun 2001

A dense plum/garnet color and exquisite bouquet of cigar box, smoke, licorice, black cherry/berry fruit, and subtle oak are found in this exotic, flamboyant 1997 Barolo. Full-bodied, with a viscous texture, plenty of power, yet impeccable balance as well as harmony between the alcohol, acidity, tannin, and wood, this fleshy, super-concentrated, seamless effort can be drunk now and over the next 17-18 years.
