Reviewed July 2008The 1961 Barolo from Cantina Mascarello was masculine, powerful and impressively rich for a wine of this vintage, while the 1958 Barolo fared less well. The 1958 can be a legendary wine, but on this night the wine was exceedingly evolved.

The 1961 vintage is mythical. It is widely considered one of the greatest post-war vintages in Piedmont. To find a Bartolo from this year is like finding a needle in a haystack. Expect a wine that has moved beyond fruit into pure earth, tar, and ethereal sweetness.
Notes
*****+ Complete wine, splendidly velvety, with a very strong character, high alcoholic level, very intense and fine scent.
