94 AG. "As it often is, Pira's 2004 Barolo Marenca is a thrilling wine. This layered, sumptuous Barolo possesses generous, plump fruit, sweet spices, menthol and new leather flavors with an expansive, rich personality. The oak is well-integrated and the wine offers superb balance, with tannins that finish big but polished. The Marenca is aged exclusively in 500-liter barrels." Antonio Galloni, Vinous.com, Dec 2007 |
