Bartolo Mascarello Barolo 2010. Forrige flaske var helt gåen. Denne var en ganske god vin, men heller ikke så bra som den kan være. Mye er på plass, men frukten er på vei til å tørke ut. 91p?

Super Bowl LVIII 2024 (Alpharetta, GA): Tasted double blind: Nebbiolo deliciousness. Mahogany wood, spice, rose petals with a slightly reductive finish. I loved it. Called it a 2006 Barolo as it shows like it has more age on it.

2010 Barolo Tasting; 1/14/2024-1/15/2024: The '10 Bartolo was again an incredible wine, vibrant and really finessed. Tasting it as part of a group of 8 2010s did put it in context, as I think it was a small step below my favorite wines from the tasting (the Monfortino & Cappellano Rupestris), but I'm very excited to follow this over time.
The nose was vibrant, with pure red cherry fruit, mint, fresh roses, orange peel, and a bit of a savory, raw meat or leathery note, distinctly in the background. On the palate, the Bartolo was medium in body, solidly in the middle of the lineup of '10s in terms of concentration. Where this wine shined was the incredible finesse of the tannins, which are barely noticeable. Acidity was medium to high, with the wine coming across as very fresh / vibrant.

Gevrey 2007 Grand Cru Dinner Preceding by Magical Meursault (Chicago, IL): This had been opened the day before, which I expected would help such a young Barolo. Slightly tired and certainly disjointed, this did not come across as anywhere close to fun yet. Maybe too much air?

From a different case than the last bottle. Fresher but again felt flabby but with lovely flavors. Not sure what I think.
