Bartolo Mascarello Barolo 2018

Plum and dark cherry show restraint, while cedar, tobacco and licorice emerge with patience. The structure feels somewhat disjointed, with tannins that need time to soften and integrate. At 15% alcohol, this breaks new ground for the estate. A notable shift from their traditionally more elegant style.
