Tasted blind. Dark red and opaque. Notes of tart cherries, earth, molasses, some wood, and a hint of VA that blew off. Rich fruit in the mouth. Monolithic though, and very quiet compared to the diva 64 Giacosa that is singing next to it. Perhaps it was the less air time that this had. What a treat to taste two great 64 Barolos side by side, brought brown-bagged by two different people. — 4 years ago

Holy moly! Alive and well! Super meaty and masculine off the cork and then the weird herbs and nuts came full on. — 6 years ago

Serious Dolcetto- plenty of the expected juicy fruit, but so much earth and mineral and texture. Just enough VA to remind you this is from Italy. Worth the price of admission. — 8 years ago

Cinghiale. Love mascarello, but this needs more time, despite the hot summer in '09. — 8 years ago

At No 3 St James's. Excellent, near perfection considering the challenge of the vintage. Full, rich and dense. Plenty of matter, ripe/fat tannins. — 9 years ago

It's a 9.5 kind of night. Oh my Dorthy, how I wish we were eating pizza with this. The pasta with fava beans, mushrooms, and prosciutto did us well though. Have to get another bottle of this for future use. — 7 years ago
