February 4, 2023 - NK Monprivato Vertical (Chez Goldberg, Greenwich Village, NYC): [Double-decanted about 4:30pm.] Lovely and elegant. Doesn't have the power of the Mascarello. More elegant in style. Lovely.

February 4, 2023 - Ripe, meaty and savory more than fruit driven with a ferrous, mineral, and chalky feel to the darker nebbiolo fruit. Rich, dense, and deep on the palate with outstanding texture. It's more overtly powerful than the Mascarello bottling, but with a little less finesse. Quite long on the back end. I like the little roughness around the edges here. At peak for me. 94

October 21, 2017 - Rich and dense. A muscular wine and a bit rustic, especially compared to previous experience with Mascarello's 1990 Monrpivato. Iron, medicine cabinet, balsam. This is structured and virile wine. Still early peak.

February 3, 2017 - Gala Dinner at La Festa del Barolo (Del Posto Restaurant, NYC): [From a magnum brought by Dan Petroski.] Dark rich smoky nose of black fruit. Rich, young, complex in the mouth. Some licorice and herbs on the finish. Could use another 10 years in magnum.

December 5, 2016 - The nose showed dusty rosy florals, dried strawberry, mineral-stone, tar and dark earth. On the palate, I found feminine, lifted textures with stimulating acidity, coming across as angular, with a stern minerality and crystalline red berry fruits. It finished structured yet energetic, not showing any heat from the vintage. It’s a very classy wine, with more upside potential that most 1990s.
