Tasting Notes
Antonio Galloni 95
We start with the 2012 Barolo from Bartolo Mascarello, which is everything I expect. Perfumed, gracious and utterly sublime, the 2012 is all nuance. It is a real treat to taste and drink after two weeks of tasting embryonic six-month-old Bordeaux. It is also absolutely gorgeous with some of the lighter first courses on the menu. I can see the bewildered faces of my guests, all them native or adopted Bordeaux locals. How can a wine be so light and yet deliver so much depth and persistence? That, in a nutshell is what Nebbiolo is all about.
Anticipated maturity: 2020-2037
