Marcarini Barolo Brunate 2016 (750ML)

96 WE / 17.5 JR

Enticing aromas of blue flower, woodland berry, menthol and pipe tobacco shape the expressive nose. Full-bodied and youthfully austere, the linear palate features Morello cherry, spiced cranberry, licorice and wild mint alongside noble tannins. Fresh acidity keeps it well balanced. Drink 2026–2046. Cellar Selection. - Kerin O’Keefe, Wine Enthusiast

La Morra. Tasted blind. Current release. Lustrous mid ruby with orange tinges. Youthful and compact on the nose with chalky hints and raspberry. Supple palate with minerally cherry fruit but not yet entirely open. Finely chiselled, gravelly tannins and gorgeous, lively acidity.—Walter Speller, Jancis Robinson
