Giuseppe Mascarello, Barolo Villero Vintage:2011 as well as overflowing aromas

as well as overflowing aromas and flavors of creme de cassis

it needs short-term cellaring but should be just about immortal in the cellar

A very subtle hint of wood frames the restrained

incense and orange peel are all very much alive in the glass

this is one to strongly consider

Giuseppe Mascarello, Barolo Villero Vintage:2011 as well as overflowing aromasModerately saturated medium red. Perfumed aromas of cherry, strawberry, coffee, mocha and flowers. Rich, suave and concentrated; nicely horizontal on the palate, but with its flesh cut byt slightly spiky acidity. The broad finish features dusty tannins and lovely floral persistence. Seems a tad rustic today and in need of patience. Stephen Tanzer
