1964 Cantina Mascarello Barolo
Community Tasting Note

Friday, February 3, 2023 - The '64 is a beautiful Barolo, and features the sweetness of red fruit and red floral tones I associate with old Mascarello, but shows a bit more meatiness and earthiness than the 1958 and 1955 beside it. On the nose, I found smoke, dark red fruit, raw meat, sweet spices, and dried roses. On the palate, the wine retains a good intensity, coming across in texture somewhere in between the powerhouse 1958 and the very finessed 1955, with sweet, pure red dried fruits, roses, smoked meats, earth, and spices, with smoke and spice notes lingering on the finish.
This showed similarly to my note from 2020. I like the '64, but it has a bit of excess of earth / meat notes that I think are distracting from the underlying fruit and floral tones that I want to taste.
