Community Tasting Note

Saturday, November 28, 2015 - G. Mascarello Monprivato vertical. '82, '89, '00, '01 and '07.

Clear, pale intensity, garnet color.

Clean, developing nose with a more toasty profile than the others wines in the tasting. Medium(+) intensity with aromas of dried strawberry, cherry, violets, basil, sage, gravel dust, espresso, tobacco and wood.

Dry, medium(+) bodied with a medium acidity and high but smooth tannins. Very rugged mouthfeel with a medium(+) intensity. Cherry core, strawberry, cacao, violet and wood. The finish is medium(+) and slightly rough with notes of black olive and wood.

This was the most austere wine in the flight. Lacking the finesse and elegance of '89 and '01 but still has lot of Barolo-typicity. Will probably come together better along with food.
