94 points Monica Larner (Wine Advocate): "The 2009 Barolo Falletto is an exuberant and exciting wine with tight, firming tannins surrounded by deep layers of dried cherry, licorice, cassis, moist tobacco and campfire ash. What sets this Barolo apart is the focus and care it shows on the bouquet. It is as if each layer is a separately audible voice in a united chorus of flavors and aromas. Also notable is the balanced acidity that adds a bite of freshness without being too sharp. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2035. (Jun 2013)"
92 points Wine Spectator: "[$250 list] The candied cherry, sweet strawberry, floral and white pepper notes are accented by black tea and tobacco details in this densely wound red. Holds firm on the finish, showing a dusty grip of tannins. Best from 2017 through 2028. 200 cases imported. (11/27/13)"
