Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, January 1994

Altare's super-ripe, rich, voluptuously-textured 1990 Barolo caresses the palate with gobs of sweet fruit, high glycerin, and a creamy richness. Soft and fat in its rich, chewiness, the wine possesses marvelous intensity, as well as considerable tannin, most of which is buried beneath lavish quantities of jammy fruit judiciously touched by toasty vanillin new oak. Drink this decadent Barolo over the next 15 years. Importer: a Marc di Grazia Selection, Michael Skurnick Wines, Westbury, NY.

Wine Spectator, December 2000

A harmonious and beautiful Barolo. Dark ruby color. Aromas of blackberries, mint and flowers follow through to a full-bodied palate with big, velvety tannins and a soft, caressing finish.--Piedmont retrospective. Drink now through 2010. –JS
