Dark ruby with a little red hue. Nice aromatics in the nose with notes of high pitched berries, tea leaves, black licorice. Rich and round in the mouth with puckering acidity and tannin. Nice drink now. Has many years in front of it.

2nd experience with this wine in this vintage... About a year later, it's in an even better spot right now.

Awesome Barolo. High volatile acidity. Semi modern in style. Great nonetheless!

Noticeable oak influence, but still really good. Nice sappy, resiny fruits. Acids have softened. Tannins are firm. Dry but long finish. I like this.

18- 2000 Some preferred to Mascarello Monprivato 01. Darker robe. Classic.

Really amazing. Lots of black licorice but as it evolved the mouthful and finish were amazing.

18+. 2000. Standout of Azelia dinner. Deep ruby, showing virtually no age. Big, classic Nebbiolo nose with real complexity. Tannins resolved, rich and smooth, great fruit. Still has many years.
