Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2008 Barolo Ciabot Mentin is a little more interesting than the Pajana, but not much. It shows good energy and length, but never seems to truly blossom in the way the best vintages typically do. Flowers, mint, licorice and red berries are woven into the long, saline finish. Today the Ciabot Mentin comes across as compact, austere and lacking fruit. It shows good up-front energy, but then tails off abruptly on the mid-palate.

Wine Spectator
Starts out broad and soft, with cherry, plum, mint, and licorice flavors, turning firm and dry on a base of muscular tannins. Tobacco and tea notes grace the finish.
