Score 16/20 · Drink 2005-2012, Jancis Robinson MW, Jan 2002

La Morra. Mid ruby. Slightly dull and dusty aroma with some interesting top notes. Relatively low key with quite soft tannins but no great power. (JR)

Score 91/100 · Drink 2001-2016, Robert Parker, Jun 2001

The fragrant, open-knit, sexy 1997 Barolo Marcenasco exhibits glorious sweetness, an expansive, full-bodied palate, a creamy texture, and overripe notes of black cherries, raspberries, currants, and a touch of maple syrup. Fleshy, powerful, and delineated, it can be drunk now and over the next 14-15 years. Importer: Paterno Imports, Lake Bluff, IL; tel. (847) 604-89000
