Marchesi di Barolo Crus Storici Sarmassa Barolo 2019

Tasting Notes

The connective tissue between one Sarmassa to the next seems on display as here the early notes perceived go blood orange and also savoury caper. Yet this stays the citrus course with greater confidence and the juiciness of this nebbiolo is really quite special. Exhibits the right kind of tart and also a liquid chalkiness to speak of the earth, light clay and stone, in that sweet spot where fruit and tension collide. Tops for the cru and one that heeds the vintage with great distinction. Drink 2025-2033. Tasted blind at Nebbiolo Prima, January 2023. (Michael Godel,winealign.com)
