G. MASCARELLO BAROLO MONPRIVATO RISERVA 2001 Stock: 4411 Truly one of the very greatest Barolo of this amazing vintage and still so well priced. Stick this in the cellar and in 10 years you will not regret it "The 2001 Barolo Monprivato, a light to medium red, represents the highest level of elegance, with a captivating nose of roses, tar, orange peel, cinnamon and licorice, followed by layers of sweet dark fruit and minerals that evolve in a never-ending counterpoint of aromas and sensations, with much depth, precision and freshness on the finish. Everything is perfectly in balance here – still my guess is that this great wine is showing only a hint of its potential. It is one of the finest Monprivatos in recent memory and a wine no one who is passionate about Barolo should be without. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2026." 95 points Antonio Galloni (The Wine Advocate) n/a
