To be released this fall, the gorgeous 2020 Barolo from Maria Teresa Mascarello is a fantastic expression of the vintage, starting with its enticing aromas of perfumed berry, rose and culinary spice. Full-bodied and generous, the enveloping palate doles out ripe raspberry, star anise, crushed mint and blood orange seamlessly supported by well-integrated, polished tannins. Made with Nebbiolo from five vineyards, including the estate’s San Lorenzo cru for the first time since 2014 after it was grubbed up in 2015 and replanted in 2017, it has great, succulent fruit, balance, structure and depth. Drink 2026–2035. Abv: 14.5%-Kerin O’Keefe July 2024
This vintage is extremely floral, offering restrained violets, linden tree, camphor and balsamic tones and fresh redcurrants. On the full-bodied palate there is great licorice-stick flavor with refreshing, lifted acidity and firm, velvety tannins that are savory and ripe. Bright expression of Barolo, full of detail, more elegant than powerful. Drinkable now, but best after 5 years.-James Suckling
The 2020 Barolo is a very pretty, delicate wine. Crushed red berry fruit, mint, spice, tobacco and dried flowers are all nicely lifted. Medium in body, with fine tannins, the 2020 is impeccably balanced. Today, the 2020 comes across as understated, gracious and classy in a style that is more delicate than it is powerful. Tasted next to the 2019, the 2020 appears to have a bit more mid-palate resonance that is not fully expressive at this stage. This spent 55 days on the skins, including a period of submerged-cap maceration.-Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media
Pale lustrous ruby. Deep, spice and dried cherry with minerally liquorice. Gorgeous lightness of touch with fine, long tannins. Super-elegant, long and captivating.-Walter Speller, JancisRobinson
