Marchesi di Barolo, Barolo (Piedmont, Italy) 2008

Aug 15, 2012

By Michael Franz

 This is a “showy” wine featuring lots of fancy oak, but there’s such depth and drive in the fruit that it never seems remotely imbalanced.  Complete and quite complex despite a lot of power, and pure too despite all of its complexity, this is simply outstanding.
