Nice Barolo with lots of limestone showing minerality and brightness. Still a little tight after 11 years, but it’s fantastic with a nice piece of beef. Floral on the nose with juicy choke cherry, leather, unsweetened coco, tobacco, raspberry preserves, and crushed blueberries on the palate. — a month ago
I might have had three glasses of this before I realized others at the table might want some of it. — 5 months ago
RW’s bday party at Chi Spacca. We all loved it. Very smooth and balanced. Barolo-like — 8 months ago
This boy ready to drink! (Yes you could age it another freaking 20, but I lean more towards the fresher fun side of barolo.) Where as Mascarello is delicate and ethereal , Conterno is a decisive power house. And at the right moment can be sublime and uniquely aromatic. High toned with structured tannins it was a perfect wine for braised lamb necks and olives. Even Madi was blown away as the wine opened up and offered some serious cherry and velvety tar. And then there was the finish. Jesus. Lasting an eternity. Making you want another sip.

A serious balsamicy bottling that needs air and food. Critically hard to beat. — 23 days ago
1999: Yeah. Outstanding 25-year old Barolo still an explosion of Nebbiolo flavor. Brick color but plenty of depth, with strawberry fruit well-balanced by typical leather and tar. A treat now, and wouldn’t wait any longer. — a year ago

ジュゼッペマスカレッロ バローロ モンプリヴァート 2004
今が2025年なので、21年前のワイン。
色はガーネット色になっていないように見える。
香りも熟成的なニュアンスはなく、とてもきれい。
飲んでみると、ドライローズ?アセロラ?
ネッビオーロとは思えない香り。ドルチェットもドルチェットらしからぬ香りだったが、その時と同じ香りがする。ジュゼッペマスカレッロ香とも言うべき香りなのか。。。
タンニンは完全に溶け込んでいて、澄み切ったというか、透明感のある果実味。
軽やかだが、緻密で焦点があった感じがする。
エレガントというかとにかく優しく繊細。
ブラインドではバローロ と言えないと思う。
唯一無二のワイン。
ちなみに、最後にオリも一切なし。本当に21年前のワインだったのだろうか。。。
