Community Tasting Notes 9

  May 12, 2018 - Not quite on the level of the '64 Giuseppe Mascarello, yet no slouch either, the '58 Cantina Mascarello Barolo was amazingly earthy and dark yet zesty all the same, with dried cherries, dusty rose, mint, moist soil and crushed fall leaves. On the palate, I found medium-bodied weight showing tart cherry offset by soft, slightly rustic textures, and brisk acidity bringing savory herbs, moist earth and mineral tones forward. It finished zesty yet meaty with balancing dark red fruits and dried spices.

  January 4, 2018 - Perfect bottle. Corroded cork under the capsule but the wine was great. Decanted 3 hours and double decanted back into the bottle. Light red color with hint of brown. Classic Bartolo perfume. Drank in a flight of 58/61/67. This was definitely the most delicate and advanced of the group but had good notes of leather, saddle, umami, soy, cherries and tar. Completely resolved wine with a great texture. An amazing bottle at 60 years of age. All of the parts are in their place and this has years left to go. Bravo. 95-96

  February 24, 2017 - Great palate with resolved black fruit trending to red by the finish, downnote spice include cardamom and clove, and hints of licorice. Quite expressive for its age. 94-95

  February 24, 2017 - With Jim, Mannie, Rob, Bill and friends at Charlie Bird. The last three older Bartolos. This was even more gorgeous than the 64. Mannie says it was Bartolos favorite vintage and this wine has everything and is as smooth as silk. 60 years to totally hit its stride :) one has to appreciate the artistry and patience of the great wine makers

  February 3, 2017 - Gala Dinner at La Festa del Barolo (Del Posto Restaurant, NYC): [1.9 liter bottle. Double decanted at 1pm. Brought by Jamie Wolff.] Surprisingly dark color. Ripe nose. Rich, but still has rough tannins. Great length. Slightly odd in some way I can't put my finger on, but quite youthful and delicious.
