Wine Spectator Review:
This has a wonderful nose, with perfumes, berries and flowers. Full-bodied, velvety and caressing on the palate. Very powerful. Needs to come together. Best after 2011.

Parker Review:
The 2005 Barbaresco Riserva Ovello is usually one of the more reticent of the estates Riservas, but in 2005 it is especially unyielding. Still firm and tightly wound, the wine possesses notable detail and clarity in its fruit in a focused, compact style. Based on previous experience, I may very well be underestimating this wine, but only time will tell for sure. After several hours the Ovello opened up nicely and my impression is it will develop into a splendid Barbaresco?with time. Anticipated maturity 2015-2030.
