Note di degustazione
This edition of 8,000 bottles is part of the estate's late-release program that lets us dig back into the Marchesi di Barolo historic cellars. From a hot summer that saw ruthless, dry heat and strong winds from Africa carrying the red sands of the Maghreb, the 2012 Barolo Riserva has evolved into a very nice wine indeed, with licorice, dried currant, dried mint and iron ore. This is a terrific step back in time. It ends a bit heavy, but it has aged quite gracefully, so enjoy it now.

Marchesi di Barolo's 2012 Barolo Riserva is a solid wine to drink now and over the next few years. Sweet tobacco, cedar, licorice, dried herbs and red fruit all open up in the glass. Even so, it would be nice to see more depth, intensity and overall pedigree for a Riserva. Given its mid-weight structure and feel, I would prefer to drink the 2012 over the next handful of years. All of the elements are very nicely balanced.
A tight and focused red with aromas and flavors of strawberries, hazelnuts and almonds. Medium body, integrated tannins and a fresh finish. Drink now.
