Score: 94 WA.
"Truffles, sweet spices, licorice and plums are some of the nuances that emerge from the 1989 Barolo Arborina. Still remarkably dense and powerful, the wine reveals exceptional length and a powerful, resonating finish. The balance here is superb." Wine Advocate #187, Feb 2010
Notes: Base neck or better, 1 nicked capsule, 2 nicked, lightly scuffed labels.
