Wine Spectator
Very beautiful aromas of berry, tar and rose follow
through to a full-bodied palate, with fine tannins and a long finish
of berry and vanilla. Very, very impressive. Polished and structured.
Best after '10. |

Antonio Galloni - Wine Advocate
The 2003 Barolo Ornato, from a vineyard in Serralunga,
is a big, brooding wine loaded with scorched earth, smoke, dark
fruit and plenty of toasted oak. Made in full-bodied, super-ripe
style, the wine possesses outstanding depth with a note of alcoholic
warmth on the finish. While not the most subtle Barolo out there,
this is a very strong effort from Pio Cesare.
Anticipated maturity: '11 - '23. |
