2016 Marcarini Barolo Brunate, Magnum

From magnum this was very shy at first. With air it really got going. There were delightful pastel, jube-like fruit aromas and flavours. It has some rose petal perfume and a hint of mint. It was deep, yet compact, with so mi=uch great underlying material ready to unfurl after proper bottle age. Lovely balance. JH 2021
