Giuseppe Mascarello, Barolo Villero Vintage:2015 This is a very opulent

This is a very opulent and rich expression with forward determination and power

the 2016 is flat-out stunning

Balsamic and truffle notes pepper the palate of this handsome Barolo

spicecake and candied flowers that spread out steadily on the back half

There are differences in texture between the two years

Giuseppe Mascarello, Barolo Villero Vintage:2015 This is a very opulentModerately saturated medium red. Perfumed aromas of cherry, strawberry, coffee, mocha and flowers. Rich, suave and concentrated; nicely horizontal on the palate, but with its flesh cut byt slightly spiky acidity. The broad finish features dusty tannins and lovely floral persistence. Seems a tad rustic today and in need of patience. Stephen Tanzer
