In the latest (November 2012) Wine Advocate, Antonio Galloni reviews the 2008 Zonchera as outlined below:
Smoke, tar and licorice are some of the notes that take shape in the 2008 Barolo Zonchera. Made in a mid-weight, accessible style, this entry-level Barolo is best enjoyed over the next few years, while the fruit retains its vibrancy and juiciness.
Anticipated maturity: 2012-2018.
