Review Date: 07/2023The 1982 Barolo (magnum) has always been a special wine for me. It is the first older Bartolo Mascarello wine I tasted. Ever since then, I have been captivated by its seductive magic. On this night, it is fabulous. Penetrating aromatics meld into a core of delineated red-fleshed fruit in a Barolo that gains energy with air. This is as classic as classic gets. A masterpiece. (AG)

The 1982 vintage from Bartolo Mascarello is excellent and the wine is starting to drink very nicely at age thirty-four. The bouquet wafts from the glass in a superb blend of red and black cherries, road tar, anise, roses, gamebirds, superb soil tones and a nice touch of beef bouillon in the upper register. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, complex and almost fully blossomed, with a rock solid core of pure fruit, lovely soil signature and great length and grip on the modestly tannic and vibrant finish. Really a beautiful bottle of Barolo that is just starting to peak.
Staff Reviews
The counterpoint to the '78. 1982 was a warm, generous vintage that produced wines of incredible charm and opulence. While the '78 demands your respect, the '82 demands your love. It is open, silky, and profoundly aromatic.
