Medium-bodied, with little concentration is the 1998 Barolo Marcenasco Rocche. I may have caught it during a less expressive stage, but it appeared straightforward with little volume and depth. Consumption during its first 8-10 years of life is recommended. Importer: Paterno Imports, Lake Bluff, IL; tel. (847) 604-89000

Aromas of peaches and berries, with hints of cedar. Full-bodied, with firm and chewy tannins and a long, ripe fruit finish. A bit hard, but it will come around with age. Best after 2005. 650 cases made, 200 cases imported.??–JS??Region: Italy / Piedmont / Barolo Select to Add
