Tasting notes
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)

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
