1980 Bartolo Mascarello Barolo

This Barolo is simply beautiful and one of the surprises of the evening. Medium in body, it shows plenty of freshness in its vibrant sweet fruit with excellent length. Although is possesses the modest complexity of the vintage, everything here is in perfect balance, adding up to a highly enjoyable bottle of Barolo. My sense is that this wine has another decade of prime drinking ahead of it.
