Note di degustazione
The 2014 Barolo Sarmassa is powerful and bombastic in its first impression. There is good up-front intensity, but then the wine drops off a cliff. The lack of mid-palate depth and finish are reminders of just how challenging this vintage was.

Of Marchesi di Barolo's three single-vineyard Barolo expressions, the 2014 Barolo Sarmassa is the wine that gives the most structured fruit and textural richness. The bouquet offers dark fruits with plum and blackberry. The mouthfeel is velvety and nicely layered with fine tannins and bright acidity. This cool vintage expression already shows the immediate qualities to pair it with meat dishes or oven-roasted pasta. The wine ages in both barrique and botte grande.
Barolo. Tasted blind. Maturing mid ruby with orange tinges. Balsamic nose with hints of mint. Ripe cherry with an oxidative edge. Good length, with a touch of flattering oak – already developing despite the tart acidity. Could do with more substance, but it is what it is. (WS)
