Pausing for the Cause Fundraiser and Dinner (Oriole - Chicago IL): Small glass, brief note. This had just been decanted. Teasing us with floral and spiced red cherry aromas, but firm tannins are just so dominant on the palate for now that it was impossible to appreciate. Needs so much more time.

From Coravin, first time using it for a quick sip, nice herbal and dried flowers nose, with both a bit of evolution and a strict still there smell, fruits are getting back with a bit air, plumy, but not ripe, palate is vibrant with tangy and soft tannins, great wine, refinement and lovable.

Nose shows red cherries, red flowers and leather, with spices and licorice, some medicinal herbs present. Tight on the palate, medium coarse tannins, red cherries and sour red berries, leather, tar, licorice and herbs. Quite acidic and densely structured, and rather tightly knitted at this point. This needs more time (as so many 2006 Barolos I have had). (90 – 93?)

Mascarello Barolo Villero 2006 vs Parusso Mosconi 2006: - Farbe: Der Parusso ist deutlich konzentrierter. Wie erwartet, da er 24 Mo im Barrique ausgebaut wurde - Der Mascarello ist ein burgundischer Barolo. Schöne Säure, für meinen Geschmack etwas zu wenig Tannin Struktur. Vielleicht würde sogar etwas mehr Holz gut tun... - Der Parusso ist sehr holzig. Sehr starke Tannine und fast etwas Geschmach von Tabak. Mir wirklich etwas zu viel. - Mascarello ist für micht heute der klare Sieger, aber vielleicht braucht der Parusso einfach noch einige Jahre Zeit

Tart cherry palate with floral and tea notes aromatically. Good, not great.
