Bartolo Mascarello Barolo 2011

Parker: The 2011 Barolo is a very expressive wine with more determination and muscle than you usually get in the wines of Bartolo Mascarello. The bouquet opens to plush flavors of red fruit and cherry with grilled herb, tobacco and mineral delineation. Its structure is yielding and round and the finish is ripe with soft fruit flavors. Make no mistake, it doles out complexity and an ethereal sense of balsam herb, cola and licorice that is the hallmark of this historic estate with a tiny garage winery in the town of Barolo. 94/100

Falstaff: Funkelndes Rubin mit Granatschimmer. Fein gezeichnete Nase mit Rosenblättern und Granatapfel, unterlegt von Himbeernoten, vielschichtig und einladend. Am Gaumen rund und geschmeidig, schöner süßer Schmelz, schwingt mit, funkelt, kommt langsam aus sich heraus, dafür aber kontinuierlich und lange, kernig. 95/100
