Tasting Notes
Robert Parker 95
The great 1998 Barolo Marenca offers the essence of Nebbiolo in its sweet bouquet of roasted espresso, cedar, Chinese black tea, soy, and black cherry/plum-like fruit. Dense, full-bodied, and viscous, this exceptional Barolo’s purity and essence of Nebbiolo-like character make it a compelling wine to drink now and over the next 12-18 years.
