This is a superbly delicate and carefully finessed wine that interprets the growing season with its alternating cold and hot intervals in an impeccable manner. The Bartolo Mascarello 2018 Barolo puts Nebbiolo and the vintage seamlessly together like lock and key. It opens to a beautiful drinking experience. The bouquet shows detail and finely tuned aromas of redcurrant violet rusty nail and blood orange. On the palate this Barolo is so shiny and polished that it feels like silk. Without a doubt this is one of the top wines of 2018.
