  I honestly couldn’t decide if I wanted to leave this note. I was very tempted to keep this information to myself. This is by far one of the best bottles of not just Merlot, but wine in general, that I have ever tasted. Yes I am a wine lover and collector. Yes I drink a lot of expensive and rare wine. It’s that good. Shockingly so. Bear in mind, the bottle I’m drinking from is a magnum. I’m not sure how the 750’s are holding up but this is absolutely spectacular vino! 28 years old and stunning. Makes me want to give Helen Turley a hug. All I ask is that if you ever see a magnum out there and you’re on the fence about buying it, don’t. Please leave it for me cause I’ll be looking.

  Just an excellent bottle of wine! I’m not going to go into tasting notes because what everyone tastes is always different anyway but I will say that this vintage is singing a beautiful song right now. If you see this please don’t buy it. Leave every bottle you can on the market for me because if I ever see it I am buying every bottle I find.

  This Parusso has a beautiful aromatic nose. Flavors of Christmas spices, raspberries, cherries, dark chocolate, a bit of stem, and some cinnamon. The tannins are velvety and well integrated. This is drinking beautifully now but will probably improve over the next ten years. An excellent Barolo for the price! Paired perfectly with grilled beef rib.
