93 points Antonio Galloni (Wine Advocate): "The 2006 Barolo Prapo flows with deep layers of dark fruit, iron, smoke and tar. This is a decidedly powerful, brooding Barolo that shows the muscular side of Nebbiolo for which Serralunga is well-known. The finish is round, generous and hugely rewarding. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2026. (Dec 2010)"

San Francisco Chronicle: "[$70 list] From Sergio Germano's south-facing parcel just below his Serralunga winery, this is undeniably stylish, forward Barolo -- a successful take on a modern style. Lots of rich vanilla accents to edgier lemon rind, apricot and mineral scents. The fruit is rich and deep, and the tannins classically strong. Should be plenty approachable within a couple years.
