Barolo Conca Marcenasco

"Deep red. Red fruits, mocha and brown spices on the nose. Densely packed but tight, boasting a sappy core of dark raspberry and minerals, with its oak component in the background. The wine's excellent acidity and solid minerality give it terrific cut. Finishes with firm tannins and a suggestion of exotic fruits. Pietro Ratti points out that this parcel, replanted in 1994, was his father's original vineyard in 1965, but at the time the wine was simply bottled as Marcenasco." - 91 Points, Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar
