This is staggering. What a bottle. Dark in color with delicate bricking round the edges this is pretty much a perfectly stored bottle. A gorgeous intense nose of plum, wild flowers. Balsamic, iodine, spice. So clear and pure. The palate has glycerin and gorgeous resolves but intense fruit. In every way this is stunning

Quite soupy looking in color. Cool cherry, herbs and a slightly stewed dark fruit flavor. Nice presence and depth. H

1958 Cantina Mascarello Barolo Riserva: from Jay. Washed out ruby/cranberry juice in color but with both sparkle and intensity. The light color of the wine is quite translucent allowing both candlelight and ambient lighting at the table to give it a lift as it glitters. Very delicate on the nose. There is a little cork taint but as this wine is so beautifully perfumed it is relatively easy to look past this imperfection. Violets, crushed roses, and red forest fruits scintillate the olfactory senses. This is really quite lovely. On the palette the wine is both ethereal and elegant. It has poise and balance and although it is in its latter years it remains a gorgeous expression of Nebbiolo. Fraises sauvages, raspberries, and hints of slightly unripened pomegranate blend together seamlessly. The finish is both long and determined. A very sophisticated and classy wine with a glint in its eye...think St. Moritz in the '60s. Drink now. 95/100.
