Marchesi Di Barolo Barolo Riserva 2000

Here’s a wine that shows the aging potential of Nebbiolo. This Barolo offers layers of dried currant, cassis, licorice, natural rubber, white spirit and a dusty, black mineral element. It’s a very linear and sharply focused wine that flaunts its power and persistency. A crisp, firm finish suggests the wine will continue to age. Score – 92.
