The 2003 Barolo Riserva Monprivato Ca d’Morissio is a powerful, seamless wine endowed with masses of dark fruit. This is a rather opulent, almost port-like Barolo from Mascarello that captures all of the best qualities of the 2003 harvest while avoiding the hard tannins that plague so many wines. A blast of iron, tar and smoke informs the long, virile finish. This will be a fascinating Barolo to follow over the coming years and decades. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2033. Proprietor Mauro Mascarello makes some of the most compelling, traditional wines in Piedmont. Mascarello’s signature Barolo, Monprivato, rarely shows well when young, yet it has a proven ability to transform magically in the bottle, something I have witnessed first-hand with more vintages than I can remember. The irony is that by the time the wines start showing well they are long gone from the market or have appreciated dramatically in price.

(still in barrel) Very pale red. Exotic raspberry liqueur and rose petal aromas, with suggestions of molasses and orange peel; I was reminded of Philip Togni's Ca' Togni sweet wine. Sweet, lush and deep, showing uncanny aromatic character for the vintage. There's a liqueur-like sweetness running through the wine that resembles a finer, more perfumed version of an Henri Bonneau Chateauneuf. The wine's acids and tannins will need time to harmonize with the fruit. Potentially one of the most impressive wines of the vintage.
