Note: Robert Parker 94/100
"Here the fruit is darker and more intense than in the Colonnello, while the aromas tend towards menthol, pine, spices, and balsamic notes. Smooth, powerful, and layered, the 2006 Cicala finishes with a burst of roasted coffee beans, licorice, and mint. This is an absolutely wonderful, complete Barolo from Aldo Conterno."
