Still embryonic, Mascarello’s 2010 Barolo (magnum) shows all the classicism it did when I first tasted it from cask many years ago. There is a feeling of crystalline purity and translucence here that is simply captivating. This is Nebbiolo and Barolo in all its glory in what has turned out to be an epic vintage for the estate. Time in the glass brings out scents of lavender, dried flowers and dark fruit, all wrapped together by huge swaths of tannin. Readers lucky enough to own the 2010 are in for a tremendous treat.

Thanks again to @Francesco Petroli for bringing this ringer! Too young but so great anyway.

Beautiful. Balanced, graceful, tactile and persistent. Great bottle of wine headed in the right direction. Love the finesse, classic aromatic profile, nervy.

Hands down. Perfect Barolo in my opinion. Started to showing tertiary notes. Decades of life ahead. What a treat!
