2021 Bartolo Mascarello, Artist Label - Barolo DOCG - 1 Magnum (1.5L)

The 2021 Barolo from Bartolo Mascarello (the estate managed by Maria Teresa Mascarello) is considered an extraordinary, classic vintage; it is produced using a long submerged-cap maceration (48 days) and a traditional blend of multiple vineyards/crus (Cannubi, San Lorenzo, Rué, and Rocche dell'Annunziata/Torriglione). Here are the tasting notes and scores from leading wine critics: Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate (Monica Larner) Score: 98/100 (or 98+) Tasting notes: Distinguished by extreme clarity, precision, and vertical lift. A classic, fresh, and linear wine featuring well-defined tannins and a very long finish, underpinned by great energy and freshness. It already displays remarkable complexity despite its youth and promises epic evolution over the coming decades. Antonio Galloni Score: 96/100 Tasting notes: A Barolo of great delicacy, elegance, and finesse. Its depth emerges gradually in the glass. It presents floral tones that lift a core of red berry fruit, combining firm yet extremely polished tannins. In profile, it is reminiscent of the 2019 vintage, but with greater breadth and substance on the mid-palate. Kerin O’Keefe Score: 97/100 Tasting notes: Alluring aromas of small red forest fruits, rose, underbrush, and spices. On the palate, it is vibrant, linear, and of highly refined elegance, with notes of red cherry, strawberry, bitter orange/blood orange, and licorice. The tannic structure is taut and the acidity pronounced. Recommended drinking window: 2031–2042. Jancis Robinson Score: 17.5/20 Tasting notes: Pale ruby ​​color. Deep, savory, and mineral nose with hints of raspberry. Still in its infancy but already perfectly balanced between ripe fruit, vibrant acidity, and deep, silky tannins. Great purity on the finish. Wine Spectator Score: 97/100 General Organoleptic Profile Color: Intense, luminous garnet red. Nose: Dried rose, cherry, wild berries, tar (or light tar notes), truffle, sweet spices (cinnamon, nutmeg), and balsamic/forest floor nuances. Palate: Structured, fresh, taut, and mineral, with noble, well-integrated tannins ensuring exceptional longevity.
