94 points – The Wine Advocate, Antonio Galloni
The 2004 Barolo Ornato is the most distinguished Ornato yet. This Barolo remains very primary and backward, yet there is a haunting inner perfume that occasionally makes an appearance here and that augurs very well for the wine’s future. The tannins are fine but also beautifully balanced by the wine’s massive fruit. …Anticipated maturity: 2014-2034.
