"Colla's 2013 Barolo Bussia Dardi Le Rose is a knock-out. Intensely sweet and perfumed, the 2013 reminds me of some of the most profound Barolos and Barbarescos I have tasted. Ripe red cherry, pipe tobacco, mint, dried rose petal, orange peel and anise are some of the endless nuances that seem to develop in the glass. The 2013 is a wine of depth, pedigree and class. It should provide thrilling drinking for a number of years. This is a regal wine in every way. Don't miss it." -Antonio Galloni

"Monforte d’Alba. Bright cherry red. Vegy nose. Very fragrant, lifted, with great balance and charm. Dry end. Super-charming."

"Truffle, underbrush, new leather and chopped herb aromas slowly emerge in the glass. The bright, elegantly structured palate delivers tart cherry, licorice and tobacco alongside vibrant acidity and tightly wound, noble tannins. It's still youthfully austere so give this time to fully develop. Drink 2023–2033." -Kerin O'Keefe
