"The 2004 Barolo Monprivato (magnum) is exquisite. The aromatics alone are captivating, but more than anything else, it is the wine’s total elegance that stands out. Silky tannins add to an impression of finesse. Chalk, white pepper and lifted spice tones weave through a core of sculpted, beautifully delineated fruit. Sublime." -Antonio Galloni

"Raspberry, citrus fruit and sandalwood aromas, with hints of fresh herbs. Full-bodied, with silky tannins. Soft and subtle, with pretty fruit. This is like a fine, old-style Burgundy. Very approachable now. Best after 2011."
