Score 87/100 · Drink 2005-2015, Daniel Thomases, Wine Advocate, Aug 2005

The 2001 Barbaresco, a medium-bodied wine with attractive notes of herbs, iris, and dried roses, makes up in length and continuity what it might lack in sheer concentration. It can be drunk over the next 10 years. A Marc de Grazia Selection, various American importers, including Michael Skurnik, Syosset, NY; tel. (516) 677-9300, Vin Divino, Chicago, IL; tel. (773) 334-6700, and Estate Wines, Ltd., San Rafael, CA; tel. (415) 492-9411

Score 88/100 · Stephen Tanzer, Vinous, Nov 2004

Good medium red. Ripe aromas of sappy red berries, plum and flowers. Lush, smooth and ripe, with suave, mouthfilling flavors of plum and spice. Finishes with full but fine-grained tannins and very good length. Nicely made, but I'm not sure I would have identified it as Barbaresco. Rocca rents this vineyard in the Montersino cru from his daughter; this was the first crop from these vines.
