2010 Barolo scoreboardLet's have a look at the old scoreboard

Simply put, 2010 is the greatest young Barolo vintage I have tasted in 18 years of visiting the region and a lifetime of buying, cellaring and drinking these wines. Antonio Galloni, vinousmedia.com January 2014

The 2010 vintage of Barolo is the most Nebbiologgiante vintage in recent memory. It offers a pristine and absolutely immaculate view into this great native grape that thrives so successfully in the Langhe area of northwest Italy. Without a doubt, it will be recorded as one of the great vintages of the past decades. Monica Larner, Wine advocate July 2014

At their best, the 2010s display wonderfully floral, vibrant aromas and flavors; uncanny delineation and inner-mouth energy; the density of texture without excess weight that comes from slow ripening; and firm, noble tannins. Stephen Tanzer, IWC, November 2014

Didn't they do well? Bruce Forsyth, The Generation Game, October 1971

Most of the critics have now published their reviews of 2010 Barolo and praise is universal. It's been a good game, good game. In the table below we've assembled scores from the three most influential critics for all of the wines we currently have available, ordered by price. What's on the board (Miss Ford)? A classic, transparent, super-Nebbiolo vintage which will provide decades of fun. So, as Bruce says, I hope you're playing this at home. /AR
