Note di degustazione
The 1990 Barolo Monprivato (magnum) offers up a heady mix of exotic ripe fruit, sweet floral notes, tobacco, cedar and hard candy. Its inner perfume and sweetness are absolutely intoxicating. Time has mellowed some of the intensity the 1990 showed as a young Barolo, but the magnum format is so favorable here. The 1990 is a stunning Monprivato. That’s all there is to it.

Mauro Mascarello's 1990 Barolo Monprivato is every bit as exceptional as the 1989. Rich, sweet and intense, the wine flows onto the palate with an opulent, caressing core of perfumed fruit. The 1990 is slightly more forward than the 1989, but for this typically long-lived wine that isn't such a bad thing. The 1990 is an especially opulent Monprivato that caresses the palate with endless layers of sweet, perfumed fruit. Some Monprivatos make you think….this isn't one of them, it is pure pleasure from start to finish. A third bottle, tasted at the home of Robert Parker, conquered Barolo fan and novice alike, showing that the world's great wines are great precisely because they are able to bridge the gap between tasters with dramatically different palates.
Sadly, the 1990 Barolo Monprivato was a victim of poor storage.
