Rating: 90 Points (Robert
Parker - Wine Advocate)
“The 2003 Barolo Brunate reveals a darker
color and weightier personality in its expression of dark fruit, leather,
spices, beef bouillon and coffee beans. Although an attractive wine, it is not
especially fresh and looks to be on a relatively fast aging curve. This is a
solid effort from Marcarini, even if most estates with holdings in Brunate
achieved a higher level in 2003, a vintage in which this historic, fabled
vineyard was particularly advantaged.”
