Score 86-87/100 · Drink 2006-2018, Robert Parker, Oct 2001
The dark ruby-colored 1998 Barolo is a tough-textured, backward effort showing a certain austerity along with notes of minerals, earth, pepper, and truffles. Red fruit notes emerge as the wine sits in the glass, but this is a decidedly stern, backward, atypical 1998. Anticipated maturity: 2006-2018. Importer: Paterno Imports, Lake Bluff, IL; tel. (847) 604-8900
