Marcenasco Rocche Barolo Nebbiolo

Too young needs time to settle down tannins and acid on fleek.

Gift from Steve Kennedy and Spadafora, great bottle

Lovely Barolo, enjoyable and classic. Not the best, but certainly a good Barolo.

Surprisingly easy to drink for an embryonic Barolo.

Dry but with fruit, really good

Ski in Sestriere

Warm alcohol, cocoa, tobacco, dark fruit and fig. Smooth mouth feel, light acidity, quite dry. Kind of a splurge for me, and not sure it's better than $20 bottles. Glad I tried it, but I think I'll try other Barolos before I buy this again.

Still trying to understand Barolo. Heavenly aromas letting you know this is an Italian wine. Deceptively complex palate of various herbs mixed with milk chocolate and cherries and berries. Swear there was a hint of mint in there. I say deceptive because the body is quite delicate and the casual observer could miss its nuances. Looking forward to doing more homework.

Tasted at BaroloBrunello Milano 2017

Lovely, not quite as good as the 2012 but very close
