The Marchesi di Barolo 2013 Barolo Riserva has been carefully aged and is ready to drink now. Or you could hold it longer if that is your pleasure. The bouquet exhibits sweet crème de cassis or cherry liqueur with tobacco and earthy sensations at the back. It is open-knit and quite generous at this point in time, although there is a slightly sour note on the finish that might disappear in due time. Some 8,000 bottles were released.

This red is beginning to hit its stride, featuring fading cherry and berry fruit, mushroom and woodsy notes, menthol and iron accents. Still firm and austere on the finish, yet the excellent length indicates its full potential. Best from 2025 through 2045. 1,100 cases made, 200 cases imported.??–BS??Region: Italy / Piedmont / Barolo Select to Add
