Community Tasting Note

Wednesday, December 2, 2020 - M&PD Zoom Tasting: Burgundy & Barolo (Zoom): I was a little stumped on this one. Murky, muddy and cloudy, is this right? Tangerine elements throughout. Surprisingly soft and resolved. This has no obvious flaw, but it feels like it is not an ideal example, throwing tons of fine sediment.

Sounds like they tried to get as much out of that bottle as they could. Such a shame.
If it were my tasting I'd ask for my money back and complain big time.
Compare your experience with the latest review from AG.
At least you touched the sacred juice to your lips!
That's something!
There's a special club in heaven where only those who tasted a Bartolo Mascarello can enter.

Separately, I just recently opened the 2010 Bartolo Mascarello on New Year's Eve with white truffles at home (me doing all the cooking). Wow.....
