Relatively light in color and structure. Very fruitfwd. Modern style barollo. — a month ago

Not modern. This is about as traditional as they come. Long macerations and aged in Slavonian botti grandi.

Gilbert Van Hassel

That is how it is made but not how it tastes. Very light modern barollo not one that needs 10 to 15 years to be appreciated.

Jay Kline

I’m not sure what you mean by that. The “light” aspect you describe is the style of G. Mascarello and they need forever to flesh out. In a year like 2019, they will need forever, forever. Again, nothing modern about it. Not the winemaking. Not the style.

Unexpected Barollo. No hints of roses. Color could have been a hint, but still rather full of color: Red brick/brown. Bit of stable scent.Harmonious, with a nice bitter. Taste is not lasting

Provencale cave must rising to wood smoke with a velvet finish. Sommelier said liquorice but I didn't get that: just a deep, smooth red way rounder and bigger than its diminutive price.

As an accompaniment to English Stilton and Spanish manchego with fig jelly it's a serious rival to my favourite $75 barollo.

Try it. — 10 years ago
