...The 2006 is an explosive Monprivato endowed with layers of ripe red fruit backed up by firm, muscular tannins that speak with great eloquence... The 2006 is shaping up to be a profound Monprivato... This is a fabulous effort from Mascarello. Anticipated maturity: 2016-2036. Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

Really enjoyed the restrained ans rustic side of this but also think this one may have been a bit tired.

Shockingly old tasting. Maderized fruit. I’m guessing poorly stored.

Birthday wine, part one. Showing well and the structure is much more subtle...in a very good spot. Rose petal and tar.

Great stuff! I can't believe I am saying this, yet this great wine is too elegant for me.

Gorgeous. Light and Livy on its feet but still so young. Tannins fairly aggressive.

Gave it a 3 hour decant but was still pretty tight. Around 4 or so hours after opening it began to loosen. Very aromatic and floral from the start. Lots of complexity. Velvety. In a good place but just needs air to show.
