The 1995 Barolo Marcenasco Rocche is a very good wine, offering aromas of tobacco smoke, cedar, spice, and lively, sweet jammy cherries. There is excellent richness, an open-knit, round personality, a sweet mid-palate, and ripe tannin in the moderately long, medium to full-bodied finish. Drinkable already, this Barolo promises to evolve for 8-10 years. Importer: Paterno Imports, Lake Bluff, IL; tel. (847) 604-8900

A bit on the light side, with chocolate, rose petal, tar, forest underbrush and black cherry notes. Rather elegant, coming to maturity. Not imported into the U.S. Drink now through 2002. 500 cases made.??–PM??Region: Italy / Piedmont / Barolo Select to Add
