WineSpectator Review:
Plum, rose and hints of meat follow through to a full body, with firm, slightly dusty and chewy tannins. This is very structured. Needs lots of time. Muscular for this wine.
Parker Review:
The 2004 Barolo Lazzarito, from a vineyard in Serralunga, possesses superb depth in its ripe dark fruit, smoke, licorice, tar and sweet toasted oak. It too is a massive, powerful Barolo and the Serralunga terroir adds an extra dimension to the wines brooding personality. Even though new oak has been reduced to 30%, the Lazzarito remains the estates most modern Barolo.
Tanzer Review:
Good full red. Pure, highpitched nose offers minerals, brown spices, Cuban tobacco and menthol. Powerful and deep, with strong minerality giving energy and sap to the wine. Perhaps best today on the sweet, lush back end, where the wines minerality contributes to a rising, wonderfully long and fresh aftertaste.
