  Robe à couper au couteau:on ne voit pas à travers on dirait un jeune teinturier français !!!!! Nez sublime dominé par deux arômes que sont le goudron et les notes torréfiées.Cette association plutôt rare m'a réellement fait forte impression mais je dois avouer que cela ne plaira pas à tous....Néanmoins,l'adage affirme que c'est au dégustateur d'aller à la rencontre du vin et pas le contraire à tous bon entendeur,salut.La bouche est du même acabit:c'est sensuel,hédoniste,les tanins sont fondus.Mêmes arômes qu'au bouquet mais le café me semble plus prégnant.Longueur de bon aloi.Un grand vin qui peut tenir encore fazcilement 10/15 ans !!!!

  This wine has reports of significant variability. This bottle showed well, but still not living up to the praise gotten on release. Lovely cherry fruit, roses, tar, and still some tannin. Translucent. While the fruit that's there is pure and pretty, I question whether there's enough stuffing to improve much from here.

  I approached this bottle with apprehension given the notable variability others have observed, particularly in the US. Not flawed, not exactly correct though wither. Some muted VA was evident on the nose, and never blew off. While the VA disappeared on the palate, the wine was a bit monolithic, and lacked energy to me. Dried red cherries, lavender and some muted mint. Others, interestingly, found it the best of the flight.

  La Festa del Barolo: Rare Wine Dinner - Bartolo Mascarello (Legacy Records): From a magnum. Very interesting to compare the last wine that was a collaboration between father and daughter with the first wine that was the daughter only (this was the collaboration). It doesn’t quite have the liveliness that you see in the others in the flight. There’s a weightless elegance that she captures or a lift that isn’t quite in this wine. Not clear how the longevity will go on this one although there is some evolution in the glass and it starts to open up with some time.
