| Vintage: | 2016 |
|---|---|
| Description: | 96 Ko / 92 Vm / 92 Ws / 17.5 Jr. Enticing aromas of fragrant 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.--Kerin O'keefe. Marcarini's 2016 Barolo Brunate captures much of the mystique of this La Morra site in its beguiling aromatics. Deep, layered and so expressive, the 2016 has a lot to offer. Time in the glass brings out an exotic quality to the red toned fruit, with spice, menthol and floral overtones that linger. I would not be in a rush to open bottles-Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media. Aromas of black pepper, camphor and sweet spices give way to cherry, plum, tamarind and tar in this intense red, which is firm and grippy on the lingering finish. Best from 2025 through 2038. 1,875 cases made, 800 cases imported.-Bruce Sanderson, Wine Spectator. 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 |
