95+ points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): "The 1982 Rocche di Castiglione di Falletto from Bruno Giacosa is a magical bottle of Barolo. The wine is wide open and beautifully developed aromatically, soaring from the glass in a stunning blend of cherries, roses, gentle notes of road tar, a touch of beef bouillon, a complex base of soil, fresh oregano, orange peel and a touch of sweet onion in the upper register. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, pure and sappy at the core, with great focus and grip, modest tannins and a very, very long, complex and perfectly balanced finish. I had the pleasure to drink this right on the heels of a fine bottle of 1982 Santa Stefano Riserva and I was very hard-pressed to choose a favorite between the two wines! 2017-2040. (Jan/Feb 2018)"
93 points Antonio Galloni (Vinous): "The 1982 Barolo Rocche di Castiglione was delicious and accessible, with its hallmark perfumed aromatics and delicate core of sweet red fruit. A lingering note of minerality gave the wine a wonderful sense of proportion. This bottle was generously donated by Mark Rosenthal. Thank you, Mark! (Nov 2007)"
