Lot #690. Marcarini Barolo Brunate 1999

Description: Consists of 1 Bottle, 0.75L
Region: Italy, Piedmont, Barolo.
Score: 94 AG.
"The 1999 Barolo Brunate remains one of the most backward, closed wines of the year. Still hiding behind a wall of impenetrable tannin, the 1999 will challenge readers to continue to be patient. Dark plums, black cherries, menthol, tar and licorice explode from the glass, but the 1999 still needs time, and likely lots of it. Nevertheless, the pure aristocratic beauty of this site comes through in spades." Vinous, Aug 2014
Provenance: The Avoriaz Cellar
Notes: 2.5cm, slightly protruding cork, very lightly scuffed label.
