Wine Spectator
A distinctive nose of vanilla and sweet spices leads off, followed by a core of ripe cherry, plum, licorice and tar flavors. The texture is smooth and plush despite the youth. Shows a fine confluence of complex fruit, spice and savory notes on the vibrant, taut finish. Best from 2022 through 2040.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2014 Barbaresco Cole is a nicely balanced and intense red wine. The fruit shows a ripe and slightly soft quality that is not uncommon in this vintage of Barbaresco (despite how counterintuitive that may seem for what is generally accepted as a cool vintage). This wine tastes like it came from a hot vintage instead. The finish is rich and almost chewy.

James Suckling
The bouquet is spicy on this one with ripe morello cherries, bark, forest floor, asphalt and plenty of vanilla. Full body and juicy with bold tannins, fresh acidity and a chewy finish. Drink in 2020.
