Red

In 1990, Manzone offers two cuvees of super-ripe, opulent, dense, concentrated, full-bodied, sexy Barolo. The more widely available 1990 Barolo Le Gramolere offers an open-knit, dramatic bouquet of herbs, spices, black-cherries, and leather. Concentrated, with great purity and overall balance, this lush, sweet, flavorful Barolo is ideal for drinking over the next decade. Apr 1994, www.robertparker.com
