This shows tight lines and pretty aromas of wild cherry, spice, sweet fruit and blue flower. The palate delivers power and elegance. — (9/1/2012) —91

Give Prapo Barolo a few minutes to open in the glass. As it does, floral aromas evolve into tones of berry fruit, cola and smoked ham. The mouthfeel is compact, firm and crisp with a touch of menthol freshness at the end.——M.L.(9/1/2011)—— 90

We are big fans of Mauro Sebaste but found this vintage of his base Barolo to be slightly less charged and intense than previous years. You’ll get characteristic aromas of wild fruit, cola and spice and the mouthfeel is drying, polished and long-lasting. Give this wine another five to 10 years of cellar aging.——M.L.(2/1/2010)—— 89

Wood influence dominates the aromas of this wine, imparting scents of cinnamon, bacon and cedar. Cherry fruit shines through on the palate, joining flavors of vanilla and dried spices. Drink 2005–2015. ——W.E.(4/2/2004)—— 90
