Right now I rated it a 9.0 but maybe if I had let it open up it would have a higher rate. This came highly recommended from the guy at the wine store. It's a full bodied wine with a deep red color. Cherry and raspberry on the nose. Slightly tannic and acidic. — 9 years ago

1998: Youthful. Broad on the palette, with tannins not far behind. This is the Barolo for CA Cab lovers, with a chewy, dense mouthfeel, yet packed with fruit and tasting brand new, rather than 17 years old. Also poured at Quince for white truffle menu. While not showing the same level of complexity as the 1971 or 1985 at the same meal, it was roundly admired, and preferred by some. — 11 years ago

So sad, our last meal @inoteca. '96 Borgogno Riserva and truffled egg toast make for a marvelous send-off! Thank you 'inoteca! #inotecalastsip — 12 years ago

What a wine! Full bodied, heavy tannins. Very well balanced. More dark berry notes than the Samarassa 2011, with a smooth transition to vanilla, black pepper and tobacco notes. Much less liquorice than the Samarassa. Overall, fantastic wine with a lot of complexity. — 9 years ago

Lots of cherry and nose in the palate, even after more than ten years, a lot of fruit, acidity and rabbi in the finish. Earthy, mushroom. Can age longer, but still delicious. — 11 years ago

Warm fruit on the nose that combines with a velvety palate of berries and licorice.. Elegant, flavorful and in a good place right now but will age.. — 11 years ago

Such a great lil wine. Ripe cherries, pops of raspberry, followed by waves of tobacco and sweet-wood smoke. Bright acidity, backed by just the right amount of structure. — 9 years ago

Still a baby. Fresh and chewy. Sour dried cherries, leather, mint, orange peel and roses. What a wine. — 10 years ago

Beautiful color. Nice acid and full leather could probably hold another 5 years but with a little air it is beautiful! — 10 years ago

Dark rich nose of toffee and plums. A bit floral. On the palate lighter than you would expect from an Amarone, but pleasant with a grip at the finish. — 11 years ago

Absolutely spectacular and a Showstopper! Beautiful amberish, caramel color, and still perfect. Had an incredibly long finish and felt like velvet on the palate. Loved every bit of it. — 11 years ago
