Mauro Mascarello’s 2008 Barolo Monprivato is a much more lifted and translucent wine than the 2006 Le Vigne. A wine that needs considerable air, the 2008 only starts to blossom with a few hours in the glass. Monprivato is often quirky, but the 2008 is a real moving target. Just this week alone I have tasted six bottles of the 2008 and found the wine a bit all over the place, especially compared to other wines from the same year. Still, with patience, the 2008 really sings. Ideally, readers should plan on cellaring the 2008 for at least another few years. 95+/100 (11.2014)
What a pleasure it is to check in on the 2008 Barolo Monprivato, a wine that is just beginning to open up texturally. The aromas and flavors still need time to fully develop, but there is little question the 2008 is a beautiful Barolo. Today, it is the wine's delicate, perfumed personality that is most apparent. The 2008 continues to grow in the glass, but how much weight it puts on in bottle is really anyone's guess. 95+/100 (05.2013)
