Giuseppe E Figlio Mascarello Monprivato di Castiglione Falletto Barolo Nebbiolo 2004

$289

Mascarello's 2004 Barolo Monprivato is an explosive wine with an almost Pinot-like expression of purity in its fruit. This round, sweet Barolo is extremely primary at this stage, with tons of dense fruit that almost cover the wine's tannins completely. Subtle overtones of roses and tar develop in the glass, rounding out this majestic wine. Monprivato is one of the world's very finest values in collectible, age-worthy wine, and the 2004 is another classic in the making. I was blown away by this wine's sheer balance and harmony, both of which are remarkable considering the wine's age. Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

Though not giving much on the nose it more than compensated with a bright, red floral palate that was Burg-like, long, notes of tar and tea, dark cherry and leather. Beautiful.

2004 vintage. Tight and wound up. Ripe with dusty undertones. Almost California on the nose, but unquestionably Italian on the profile.

Beautiful, perfect but with tons of intriguing character, dried sour cherries, opium, seductive savory herb, saline minerality, and bright punchy finish
