Giuseppe Mascarello, Barolo Monprivato 2013 Chateau de Bonnezeaux with a bright acidity thatJust mid ruby. Needs to take a very deep breath. At first malt and brooding cherry. With aeration the mists lift. Cherry with hints of sweet liquorice and cinnamon bark. Minerally iodine hints. Still embryonic with compact fruit but with a sensational balance between supple acidity, compact fruit and super fine long tannins sticking to the palate. Walter Speller, jancisrobinson. com (18)
