2010 Azelia "Margheria" Barolo (1.5L)

Bid on this 3-magnum lot of 2010 Azelia Margheria Barolo (1.5L) (96JS, 96VN, 95RP, 95WS). Vinous: The 2010 Barolo Margheria comes across as quite compact at this stage but then again, it is a young Serralunga Barolo. Iron, graphite, smoke and crushed rocks seem to resonate off a core of expressive dark fruit in a muscular, implosive Barolo endowed with tremendous depth and intensity. With time in the glass the wine's inner perfume and sweetness begin to emerge, accompanied by expressive floral and savory notes that add tons of pure appeal. The 2010 is going to require considerable patience, but there is a lot to look forward to. Layers of chalk and limestone inflected minerality support to the building finish. (AG) (01/2014)
