2000 vintage. Sweet fill. Exquisite cork extracted via the Durand but likely could have used a standard wine key. Darker color than expected. Decanted with expected sed. Medium/medium heavy body. Tannic, dark-fruited nose. Frontal chunkiness. Mid-palate resolution. Finishing solution, smoothing out after 5-6 seconds and gliding into conversation. Still a ton of youthful fruit and passion. Phenomenal (and, unfortunately, last) specimen. Need to acquire if still possible. Absolutely no rush to crush. 7.31.26. — 14 days ago

1967; 3H Decant.

Nose has dried roses, tar, dried orange peel, dried Bing cherries, wet leather, moist leaves and shaved dark chocolate.

Palate has dehydrated tart cherry, dried orange zest, moist garden soil, sweet cherry notes, medium tannins and light acidity remains.

Evolving and expanding with each sip, complex flavors continue to reveal, not slowing down at all.

A truly exceptional bottle of wine. Made by Beppe Coppa, one of the greatest Lange winemakers. A powerful vintage according to my trusted source on old Italian wine. — 4 years ago

Wow, cherries! Nice tannins, provides great balance. Still finished with the great miners notes. Smooth for a Barolo this young.

This is delicious. Glad I have more in the cellar. — 6 years ago

Forgot to add this… Very pleasant blend of Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, and Viognier. The crisp nature of Sauvignon Blanc is not lost between the creamier and more exotic elements of Chardonnay and Viognier. — 9 months ago

2016: at 10yrs, a rich expression of Barolo. The nose is refined with rich red fruit, camphor, and of course rose petal. Dense for a barolo on the palate but remains well delineated. Drinking well now! — 3 months ago

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of 90 minutes. The 2019 “Margheria” pours a pale garnet color with a transparent core; medium+ viscosity with no staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with gorgeous notes of ripe red fruit: Morello cherry, raspberry, orange zest, roses, talcum powder, dried herbs, and dry earth. On the palate, the wine is bone dry with high tannins and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long, super grippy and slightly savory. Ooooof, I love Azelia’s expression of Margheria. It’s so transparent, so elegant. Drink now with patience but better after 2029 and through 2059.

For those who care: Historically, Luigi Scavino (Azelia) tended to treat their wines slightly different, dependent upon MGA. Margheria was getting their most traditional treatment being aged exclusively in Slavonian botti. FWIW, I always felt this was their most exciting single MGA bottling. Now, I believe all of their single MGA’s are treated in the similar, aforementioned fashion. The results speak for themselves. — a year ago

Following that poor showing Scavino we needed a sure thing. Hudelot Noellat Vosne village delivered the goods ! Spicy, floral, red fruits, medium bodied, elegant but with the vintage richness. Excellent now, probably much better in 3 to 5. — 5 years ago
