An excellent Barolo. Decanted for about five hours before tasting, and it got better as the evening wore on. Smelled like roses and tasted like plums and fresh cherries. Smooth and silky, not at all overpowering.

Aroma is demure. Toasty, steered red bramble berries and cherry, a bit of earth. Grippy and tight on the palate, although it's scarily thin in body. Strong tannins back up spice tart red fruit. Perfectly enjoyable.

Wow! The 70s Barolos sing beautifully right now (2017)... this 1970 Marcarini beauty is older than me but certainly more youthful and pretty. Throw out vintage ratings from critics and grab any bottle of Marcarini from the 70s! Cherry cola, rose water bouquet reside harmoniously with mushroom and freshly rained on asphalt- just so good. A perfect pairing for Maialino’s squid ink taglioni as well as the namesake suckling pig. yum yum yum.
