I thought the 2010 Bartolo was great but maybe this was even better- wow. I wasn’t expecting this to be so accessible. It was rich and chewy- not in a Cali cab manner- just lingered in the mid palate. Add in some dark fruit, mineral, licorice all woven together beautifully. The wine was so light. Really impressed with these wines. Memo to me later- go buy some!! — 6 years ago
1958 vintage. From Jay. 1958 Bartolo Mascarello - Brief Note from Galloni Historical Retrospective Held in London April 26, 2016. From 1.9L format. Very light rose colour. Typical nose of crushed roses and violets mixed with ancient saddle leather and a hint of very old crushed mint. The wine still posses good fruit although it is clearly in the twilight of its life. Some medicinal elements on the palette but these are enjoyable and well integrated. Otherwise the palette is both ethereal and elegant. It has both poise and elegance and remains a gorgeous expression of Nebbiolo despite its maturity. Fraises sauvages, raspberries, and hints of slightly unripened pomegranate blend together seamlessly. The finish is smooth with medium length. I have been fortunate enough to have this wine on three separate occasions in the last twelve months and my notes have been consistent. 96/100. Drink Now. — 8 years ago

Tasted 2011 barolo at La Vite Turchese wine store in Barolo. Amazing. Full of potential. Very complex, balanced, traditional barolo. Needs to be aged at least 5+ years. — 7 years ago

First time trying Xinomavro from Naoussa, aka “the Bartolo of Greece.” Juicy dark fruit & sweet spice aromas are so inviting. High tannins, but it’s relatively lean w/ sour cherry, herbaceous flavors w/ a hint of leather. Highly recommended. — 6 years ago
