IWC 91 (12/2004): Aromas of raspberry, dried flowers and cedary, spicy oak. Sweet, pliant and deep, with a floral element contributing to an impression of vinosity. Lively flavors of cherry, flowers and cedar. Quite complex on the back end, finishing with big, broad, dusty tannins and lingering notes of truffle and underbrush. I would not have picked this blind as having aged in 100% new barriques.

WA 89 (10/2006): Boasting a potent nose of spices, new oak, sweet fruit and chocolate, the 2000 Barolo Runcot is intense on the palate, with plenty of very ripe dark fruit and toasted oak flavors. Soft and supple, this accessible Barolo is drinking very well today, although the too-sweet fruit and excessive use of new oak threaten to throw it off balance. 2006-2015.
