I attempted to enjoy it while watching Super Bowl XLVIII. Alas, it was almost as spent as Manning's game. This likely would've been a great wine in around 2010-11, but it was nothing more than a mouthful of sour cherry by this point. 1994 wasn't a great vintage, and Scavino Barolos are geared for earlier gratification. Shame on me for waiting so long.

this may be a bit tart for some, but to me there's sufficient fruit to balance the high acidity. Don't see this improving any but it should hold for years.

Light garnet to brown at rim. Oak, almost Bordeaux like. Soapy – full and rich. Lovely wine that is more androgynous than the other wines tonight. Just enough nebbiolo characteristics to keep it interesting. (90)

On the downswing, but still enjoyable. Lovely nose of tar and mushrooms. Good initial feel though falls pretty quickly. Drink up. (88)
