Awesome and layered. Intriguing aromas of cured meat, dried cherries, tar, fading roses and chalk; all classic stuff! Medium bodied showing intense and aromatic fruit, tight tannins, juicy acidity and a bold, sturdy finish. Many good years left, but darn tasty already. Most likely Marengo's best produce ever!

2004 vintage. Great structure, developing fruit. Still a baby.

Half a foot in the modernist and the traditionalist camp. This wine needs time to develop and show it's true charachter, but it is well made.

Didn’t expect like this as much as I did. Typically too modernist for me. But this delivered with a more classic profile than expected.

Very very nice Barolo. Allow it to breathe a little and you won't regret it
