Bartolo Mascarello, Barolo 2001
1.0cm

Upon opening, very strong soy sauce smell. After decanting for 4hours, it starts to open up nicely and consumed over dinner. Very loral, mushroom, balsamic and red cherries. Very smooth and well integrated tannin. What a beauty, definitely one of the best Barolo I’ve tried. 9/30/2024

A brilliant edition of Bartolo -- bright red fruit and lovely overall elegance. Still quite young inasmuch as the tannins are a bit coarse and grainy, but the crystalline nature of the fruit is on full display here, along with a lovely floral perfume. Very clearly a wine that can stand to age further, but it is no waste to enjoy a bottle now.

The 2001 is a classic and timeless beauty in the making, which offers up a powerful and pure bouquet of black cherries, licorice, road tar, fresh herbs and a faint whiff of cedary spice (no doubt from some of those new botti that were added to the cellar around this time). On the palate the wine is full-bodied, pure and classically structured, with beautiful focus, a rock solid core of fruit, ripe, but firm tannins, and great tangy acids giving the wine a lightness of step on the very long, soil-driven finish. This is a great young Bartolo in the making, and clearly will be one of the great vinous legacies of his illustrious career. (JG) 94+ 09/2007
