Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: The 2007 Barolo Cerretta is serious juice. This dark, imposing Barolo covers every inch of the palate with deep layers of dark Serralunga fruit. There is tremendous excitement...

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate: The estate's 2007 Gattinara Le Castelle flows with black cherries, mint, flowers, spices and vanillin. The mid-weight, translucent style is nicely fleshed out in this undeniab...

Wine Spectator: Boasting menthol and eucalyptus-tinged cherry and plum aromas and flavors, this red is broad and well-balanced in its structure, with fine length. Approachable now, but better...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: Wild aromas of camphor, mocha, coffee, wild herbs and earth; distinctly less fruity than the 2008 Barolos here. Lush, velvety and fine-grained; nicely fresh but not currently...

Wine Enthusiast: Barolo Rocche opens with inky-dark concentration, chewy ripe cherry flavors and lingering hints of cola, mint and licorice. The more the wine opens in the glass, the more it e...

Stephen Tanzer's IWC: Good bright full red. Tight, high-pitched aromas of raspberry, spices, smoke and dried flowers. Initially much less sweet and open than the Faletto classico but dramatically...
