Slightly over the hill...baking spices, red liquorice, still some tannin, sour red fruits on the finish, with tobacco notes. Probably much better 5-10 years ago.

A better example than previously consumed some time before, and very spirited but showing its age - classic Barolo and showing what was called "Barolo tar," this is on the dry side.

Marcarini Barolo Brunate Dinner at Ciano: Moving this way, after drinking the older wines, it's weird how youthful aspects of this 30 year old Barolo are obvious now. Beautiful fruit here, a lovely floral nose, very alluring. Balanced and complex in the mouth, and the pungent and slightly herbal finish left a perfume that reminded me of the way the older wines feel. Very lovely wine.

Marcarini Brunate Vertical Tasting (Ciano, 45 East 22nd st., New York, NY): he nose showed rustic red fruits, musk, crushed fall leaves and a hint of spice. On the palate, it was elegant and still lively with deep, fresh red fruits. This finish was medium-long with silky balance.
