92 points Wine Spectator: "Lovely purity of fruit, with plum and light wet earth on the nose. Full-bodied, with fine tannins and a pretty, fresh finish. Not a blockbuster but refined and delicious already. Give it a few years. First generic Barolo for Giacosa in years. Best after 2007. 580 cases made. (7/31/04)"

92 points Wine & Spirits (Dec 2004).

90 points Antonio Galloni (Wine Advocate): "Medium ruby. The 2000 Barolo is less expressive and nuanced than the 1999, but it is an attractive wine offering notes of smoke, earthiness and sweet red fruit on a medium-bodied frame, with good length, soft, silky tannins and a more opulent, richer personality than the 1999. An Azienda Agricola Falletto di Bruno Giacosa bottling. Drink after 2008. (May 2006)"

90 points Stephen Tanzer (International Wine Cellar): "Good full red. Sweet, decadent aromas of redcurrant, marzipan, underbrush and tobacco. Sweet, fat and full, with excellent density but moderate nuance today. A bit tough on the back end following the 2000 Asili, with the tannins making themselves felt earlier. (Nov/Dec 2004)"
