JANCISROBINSON.COM: La Morra. Deep ruby with orange tinges. Opulent, sweet oak and fruit cake, but much more compact and tannic on the palate. Fruit-cake notes on the finish with hints of cherry. Quite good, but with drying tannin on the finish. 15.5 Drink 2012-18 (WS)

WINE ADVOCATE (Dec 2010): The 2006 Barolo is one of the most refined, elegant wines I have ever tasted from Ciabot Berton.

The estate's Barolo is made from vineyards in Roggeri, Bricco S. Biagio and Rive, all in the Santa Maria district in La Morra. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2021. Drink: 2012 - 2021. Rating 89, by Antonio Galloni

DECANTER : 3 stars ("Recommended")
ABOUT.COM GUIDE – Kyle Phillip : Deep black almandine with black reflexions and almandine rim. The bouquet is fairly intense, with dusky sour cherry fruit supported by some green leather and deft spice supported by alcohol that confers warmth. Harmonious through quite young. On the palate it's ample and soft, with fairly rich cherry plum fruit supported by moderate slightly sweet berry fruit acidity and by tannins that have a sweet cedary burr and flow into a clean bright plum finish with underlying tannic support. It's quite ripe , displaying plum as well as red berry fruit, but not so ripe as to be terminally soft and big; if you like the style you will enjoy it very much. 86-88
DUEMILAVINI 2011: Granato, olfatto piacevole di ribes, lampone, ciliegia e rosa canina seguite da scia speziata e floreale. Si apre al gusto fresco ed equilibrato con una bella presenza tannica che conferisce struttura. Epilogo fruttato, sapido. Vasche di cemento per la vinificazione, poi rovere di Slavonia per 24 mesi. Quattro grappoli

WINE ADVOCATE (Apr 2009): These 2004 Barolos are the finest wines I have tasted from Ciabot Berton. The 2004 Barolo is made from vineyards in Roggeri, Bricco San Biagio and Rive, all of which are in Santa Maria, one of the less well-known parts of La Morra for fine Nebbiolo. This is a lean, powerful Barolo, but in this vintage there is also gorgeous, fragrant fruit that can stand up to the tannins. The wine reveals lovely balance and length, with cooling notes of mint that provide a sense of lift on the finish. This is a very attractive, mid-weight Barolo from Ciabot Berton. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2016. Drink: 2009 - 2016. Rating 90, by Antonio Galloni
