Daniel O'Keefe rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

Tawny brick in colour, there is no mistaking this for a Nebbiolo-based wine, and the king of the variety no less. Vanilla, cocoa, and a sweet note that I can describe no other way than similar to an Irish cream liqueur. Tannins are massive, chewy, and structured so that this wine can age for the long term. The healthy acidity and body certainly won't hurt the aging or food pairing potential either. Palate shows sour cherry with touches of spice, floral, and balsamic. Enjoy with brasato al Barolo.

Carolyn Hetke rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

This Barolo has already mellowed out to a brick orange colour, with a raisiny nose and dried fruit on a smooth palate. A bit of heat on the finish. Barolo had excessive rain during the 2014 vintage and this may be the reason this example is not showing the depth and complexity you would expect from a Barolo. Drink now with steak tartar or wild boar. Tasted May 2019. www.thewineloverskitchen.com

Natalie's Review

Marchesi di Barolo La Tradizione Barolo, Piedmont D.O.C.G., Italy: Earthy flavours of violets, rose petals, fresh mushroom and leathery notes on the palate. Great acidity for food. Decant for two hours and pair with firm cheeses or meaty game dishes. The 100% Nebbiolo Tradizione is sourced from select vineyards in Barolo, Monforte, Castiglione Falletto and La Morra. Drink: 2019-2028. 168179 14% D 750 mL $42.95 Score: 88/100. May 25, 2019 Glorious Game Wine Full Review
