  Not had a Bartolo Mascarello for ages & their Barolo prices are too high nowadays, first time trying their Langhe, medium red, lovely nose of mainly red fruits, really good in the mouth with complexity & elegance

  Bright and very pretty, but the palate on this bottle seemed a bit muddled compared to the previous bottles. Perhaps in a sleepy period? Plenty of material so no hurry for the next bottle.

  Good intensity, depth and freshness on the nose offering notes of dark, ripe cherry, strawberry, orange peel, dried rose petals, licorice root, gunpowder tea, anise, hints of truffle and young leather, some classic, mineral notes of clay pot together with wet gravel and mild tar. Fresh summery forest floor and mild scents of thyme, oregano and some cooling mint.
  Relatively rich on the palate without being heavy. Strong tannins (far from integrated) and a juicy acidity. All kinds of cherry (…) together with blackberry, wild strawberry and cranberry, followed by intriguing clear marzipan notes, bitter orange, some undefined dried herbs, some pepper and cloves, finishing with chalk, hints of raw white mushrooms and bitter cherry.
  
  It tastes very good, but to be honest, I don’t think it stands out as much as expected. Still very nice, of course.
  I really like its state between “raw” / “untouched” and polished.

  La Festa del Barolo: Rare Wine Dinner - Bartolo Mascarello (Legacy Records): The pre-dinner sipper. Usually this would be a champagne but this was a fun surprise especially as you don’t see the Langhe Nebbiolo that often and very often it’s relatively marked up. This is still drinking on the young side of things. Bright and red fruits and lighter bodied and easy in style.

  Did not make a detailed note, but this was great! Very elegant but intense, typical nebbiolo. Must taste again sober...
