Marchesi di Barolo Barolo di Barolo 2010

95 pts James Suckling

This is deep and layered with beautiful ripe fruit of berries and strawberries with hints of flowers. A flinty undertone. Full body, dense and velvety textured. Very long and powerful yet wonderfully balanced. Best blend Barolo from here in years. Better after 2016.

The 2010 Barolo delivers a great sense of textural richness and elegance that is reinforced by the silky nature of the mouthfeel. Bright berry nuances follow licorice, black truffle and cola. The oak spice is a little evident at this young stage but will integrate with time. Drink: 2016-2025.

It offers dense black cherry and plum sensations layered with chocolate, vanilla, roasted coffee bean and espresso. Bracing tannins deliver a drying close.
