91 Points Wine Advocate

1996 Borgogno Barolo Classico Riserva—Deep, dark burnished ruby. The nose is somewhat evolved and balsamic, showing lots of spices, anise, and stewed fruits. There is wonderful follow through onto the palate, which has plenty of dark fruit, stewed prune and tar flavors. 91 points/drink after 2011, 12/04
