"Leuchtendes, aufhellendes Rubingranat. In der Nase zunächst deutlich von neuem Holzaroma geprägt, dahinter nach Preisel- und Brombeere. Leider sticht auch am Gaumen das Holz markant hervor, deutlich trocknendes Tannin im Finale, die Frucht bleibt im Hintergrund."

"Woodland berry, coconut, toasted oak and menthol aromas are front and center on this elegant, firmly structured red. On the chiseled palate, tightly knit, close-grained tannins accompany juicy Marasca cherry, cranberry and licorice. It's balanced, with vibrant acidity. Drink 2026-2036. Kerin O'Keefe"

"Prugne rosse e fragole i sentori principali di questo Barolo energico e vibrante. Le note di nocciola e noce moscata che dominano lo sfondo donano ricercatezza ed unicità olfattiva. Corpo pieno, tannini morbidi leggermente gommosi ed un finale compatto e dalla buona persistenza gustativa. Meglio dal 2022."

"Leuchtendes, mittledichtes Rubingranat. Duftige Nase mit Noten nach Rosenblättern, etwas Pfirsich, Erdbeere. Straffes, zupackendes Tannin am Gaumen, breitet sich satt aus, herzhaft, hat festen Druck, im Finale noch ein wenig trocknend."

"Aromas of eucalyptus, rose, wild herbs, dark spice and espresso lift out of the glass. The firmly structured palate is youthfully austere, showing sour cherry, cranberry, orange rind and ground clove, while tightly wound, close-grained tannins lead to a mouthdrying close. Drink 2022-2030. Kerin O'Keefe"

"Glänzendes, sattes Granatrot. Eröffnet mit Noten nach Tee, etwas Himbeere, dahinter feine Trüffel und Orangenschalen. Im Ansatz viel satte Frucht, breitet sich machtvoll aus, zupackendes, dichtes Tannin, im hinteren Verlauf noch ein wenig ruppig."

"Funkelndes Granat, ansprechend. Zeigt im ersten Kontakt Noten nach Kaffee, dann viel Zwetschge, Himbeere und auch Erdbeere, etwas Rosenblätter. Am Gaumen überaus dicht und konzentriert, tiefgründig, herzhaft und zupackend, nach reifer Himbeere, Erdbeere, feiner Schmelz, befindet sich noch in einem embryonalem Stadium."

"Lifted aromas of crushed mint, menthol, underbrush and crushed berry are front and center on this impressive wine. It's still young but already shows impeccable pedigree, delivering raspberry compote, juicy Marasca cherry, licorice and clove while assertive but refined tannins and fresh acidity provide balance and an age-worthy structure. Drink 2025-2038."

"Aromas of mature berry, menthol, coffee bean, toast and dark cooking spice emerge on this bracing wine. The firmly structured palate delivers dried black cherry, espresso, French oak, licorice, chopped herb and tobacco set against bracing, close-grained tannins and the warmth of alcohol. The tannins will need years to unwind."
yr. 2010 Falstaff:
91 of 100 Points.

"Intensives, funkelndes Rubin mit leichtem Granatschimmer. Klare und einprägsame Nase mit Noten nach eingelegten Kirschen, Himbeere, etwas Siegellack, kandierte Orangenschale im Hintergrund. Am Gaumen viel zupackendes, kraftvolles Tannin, hat aber auch feinen Schmelz, dunkle Beerenfrucht, wirkt im Moment noch etwas unzugänglich und rau, hat aber beste Anlagen."

"Espresso, roasted coffee bean, plum and toasted oak aromas lead the nose. The dense palate doles out crushed dark cherry, espresso, mocha and roasted sage alongside youthfully aggressive and very astringent tannins. Give this time to unwind. Drink 2020-2040."
yr. 2003 Wine Enthusiast:
92 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Ceretto Bricco Rocche Prapo" from the vintage 2003 on 01.07.2013 with 92 of 100 points.
"Slightly backward, particularly given the vintage, the wine has a complex nose with plenty of dark fruit, Turkish delight, smoked meat and earth. A full rich palate, slightly soft, it begins to run out of steam a little in mid palate, but returns with a flourish, and the finish is long and nuanced. Will repay 5+ years of cellaring."
yr. 1978 Doctorwine:
92 of 100 Points.
"Doctorwine" has rated the wine "Ceretto Bricco Rocche Prapo" from the vintage 1978 on 01.03.2012 with 92 of 100 points.
"The colour is intact in terms of intensity but has now veered towards a garnet shade, with some orange nuances. The nose expresses nobility, rigour and stage presence. The palate is velvety, with tannins that are stupendously integrated with the other smooth sensations (allowing us to enjoy it with all the food there was on the table). Never banal, it continues - in a meandering way - to create new taste profiles for itself. This wine from Ceretto is a sure-fire thing in this vintage."
yr. 2007 Falstaff:

"Falstaff" has rated the wine "Ceretto Bricco Rocche Prapo" from the vintage 2007 on 01.11.2011 with 91 of 100 points.
"Sattes, leuchtendes Rubingranat. Etwas verhangene Nase, duftet nach Karamell und Malz, dann viel Tabak, betont reife Noten. Am Gaumen beeindruckend, sehr stoffig, baut sich satt auf, toller süßer Fruchtschmelz, mineralische Tiefe, gibt dem Wein feines Spiel."

"One of the best wines to emerge from the Italian peninsula, this beautiful Barolo delivers dark, sensual concentration, a firm but silky feel and sophisticated aromas of mature fruit, sandalwood, exotic spice, dried rose petal, licorice, dried herbs and cola. It's a solid, gorgeous wine with very long aging potential."

90 of 100 Points.
"Falstaff" has rated the wine "Ceretto Bricco Rocche Prapo" from the vintage 2006 on 01.11.2010 with 90 of 100 points.
"Funkelndes Rubingranat. Sehr tolle, ansprechende Nase, duftet nach Tee und Rosen, dann auch viel Zwetschkenkonfitüre und Trüffel. Saftig und klar am Gaumen, entfaltet sich mit griffigem, feinem Tannin, spannt einen schönen Bogen."

"Bouquet nach roten Beeren, nach Spezereien und Blüten; im Mund kompakt, die Tannine robust, doch mit viel Fülle und Feuer, anhaltendes Finale auf Noten reifer Kirschen und Lakritze."

"From iron-rich soils, this expression of Barolo offers elegant mineral tones and slate backed by plump aromas of blackberry, currant, cola, leather, spice and smoked cedar wood. There's also an attractive floral note at the back. The wine offers notably fine textured tannins, with a smooth and polished feel."
yr. 2004 Wine Enthusiast:
92 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Ceretto Bricco Rocche Prapo" from the vintage 2004 on 01.01.2009 with 92 of 100 points.
"Barolo Prapó is a chewy, fruit-driven wine with a broad array of aromas that include black cherry, chocolate powder, creamy vanilla and exotic spice. Cinnamon, clove and ginger all appear in the mouth and are powered by the wine's thick texture and deep concentration. Let it age two or three more years and pair it with roast lamb or pork."
yr. 2001 Wine Enthusiast:
92 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Ceretto Bricco Rocche Prapo" from the vintage 2001 on 01.01.2006 with 92 of 100 points.
"Like Ceretto's other 2001 Barolos, Prapó is beautifully balanced. It's fresh and fruity without being candied or simple; meaty and earthy without being heavy or dull. Bright red fruit mingles easily with dusty earth, finishing with powdery-feeling tannins and a refreshing hint of anise. Imported by Moët Hennessy USA."

"Leuchtendes Rubin mit leichtem Granatrand; intensive Nase, nach Fenchelsamen, etwas Kirsche, Zwetschke; am Gaumen rund und satt im Ansatz, zeigt dichtes Tannin, verwoben, viel süße Frucht, im Nachhall mit gutem Druck."
yr. 1999 Wine Enthusiast:
90 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Ceretto Bricco Rocche Prapo" from the vintage 1999 on 01.02.2004 with 90 of 100 points.
"Charry and smoky, with masses of red fruit and some citrusy overtones, this medium-weight wine features a long, chewy, cranberryish finish that raises it to the elite level. Drink 2008-2015."
yr. 1997 Wine Enthusiast:
92 of 100 Points.
"Wine Enthusiast" has rated the wine "Ceretto Bricco Rocche Prapo" from the vintage 1997 on 01.01.2001 with 92 of 100 points.
"Dried roses highlight the nose, followed by aromas of red berries, plums and mushrooms. Full-bodied and rich, this delivers layers of ripe fruit that turn chocolatey on the finish, where firm tannins take hold. Should be long-lived; try this Ceretto wine in 2010 or beyond."
