Tasting Notes
Robert Parker 92
1993 Barolo Collina Rionda-Medium ruby. Giacosa’s 1993 Collina Rionda, the last vintage for this wine, is mature and an excellent choice for near-term drinking. It shows aromas of roses, raspberries, spices, tobacco and underbrush, followed by sweet red fruit in a soft, medium-bodied style with much charm and appeal. 92/drink now-, 11/05
Vinous 94
The 1993 reveals shades of greatness in its sublime inner perfume. Mint, flowers, spices swirl around in the glass, adding complexity to the dark fruit. Over time the wine faded a bit, but it was absolutely singing for the first 30 minutes or so.
