Bruno Giacosa

Impressive for its firm but elegant tannins, this Barolo is rich in raspberry, leather, and anise aromas. Extremely refined and balanced with abundant flavors of chocolate and tobacco, this full-bodied and massive Barolo is recommended with meat dishes (especially those with a Barolo based sauce), game, and smoked cheeses.

Wine Advocate

The 2005 Barolo Falletto offers up a gorgeous bouquet of red cherries, flowers, spices and menthol. This is a relatively delicate, elegant Barolo Falletto yet it offers gorgeous balance, tons of inner perfume and a long, refined finish. It is one of the overachievers in 2005. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2025.

Score: 94. —Antonio Galloni, April 2009.

Wine Spectator

Offers pure strawberry on the nose, with flowers. Full-bodied, with round yet refined tannins and intense, bright fruit. Very long. Always beautiful. Best after 2012.

Score: 92. —James Suckling, July 31, 2009.
