October 16, 2021 - Gorgeous, soft, and mature, with balance, structure, and a velvet grip. Resolved dark fruit, with the barest hint of candied cherry. An excellent Barolo in peak form.
June 2, 2019 - Tar and roses on the nose, with elegant, balanced fruit and a lingering, silky finish. A medium-bodied 14-year-old barolo, now showing secondaries and drinking very well. Structured for 10+ years ahead.
November 3, 2017 - At James Sucking tasting.
Complex aroma of fruits and secondary characters. Good mid weight on palate with a balanced silky tannin for Barolo. Tasted along with '09, the '05 is much better. 93+
March 6, 2016 - Signature candied cherries, this 2005 has a longer more sustained finish with lovely tannins and delicious mouthfeel. So far never a bad bottle. Well worth being a (very good) table wine option.
November 28, 2015 - Tried in a mini-wine tasting event. Decanted for 4 hours before drinking, the aroma of blackberries and oak are present, but not strong enough. Relatively light-bodied, rare in the Barolos I have drunken before. Very silky and soft, just like Ceretto's Brunate and Zonchera which I have tasted before. On the palate, cherries and plum, a bit spicy, and moderate acidity. It has a long finishing, with traces of vanilla and chocolate. Good wine overall, but in my opinion, Ceretto's Barbarescos are better.
才剛倒進杯裡，已嗅到淡淡黑果香，但很內斂，還夾雜橡木味。此酒相對比較輕身，屬我喝過的 Barolo 中鮮有。由於共有九人，故每瓶酒只可喝兩杯左右，份量不多。喝入口中，很柔順，與之前喝過的 Brunate 及 Zonchera 一樣。口中有櫻桃及布冧的味道，有點 spicy，酸度剛好，finishing 很長，更有點香草及朱古力的感覺。雖是好酒，但還是感覺 Ceretto 的 Barbaresco 做得更出色
November 30, 2013 - This is Barolo at its best - sure, tar and roses, but such a fresh spring smell; this is brilliant. Lithe and elegant for Barolo but still packing a punch... this is very, very good.
October 27, 2012 - Barolo Bricco Rocche Vertical (Salone di Gusto, Torino, Italy): Medium(-) ruby, orange-ruby rim, very slow moving legs @ 14.5@ abv. Medium developing aromas of small red fruits, vanilla, oak, some spice; clearly developing and introvert. Dry, medium(+) acidiy, medium(+) ripe tannins, medium body and medium(+) alcohol. Medium flavors of red cherries, cocoa notes, and later tobacco and tar. Good length with evolving palate from fresh to deeper almost sweet flavors. A bit sinewy yet elegant wine with a more expressive palate the the nose suggested. Cellar 5+ years, promising future, 90+ potential.
