Tasting notes
Marco Parusso's 2014 Barolo is one of the most stunning wines of the vintage. In 2014, Parusso made a single Barolo that incorporates fruit from Mariondino, Mosconi, Le Coste and most of Bussia. Rich, deep and explosive on the palate, with stunning aromatic presence and overall intensity, the 2014 is remarkably vivid. Beams of supporting tannin give the wine its energy and persistence. Wild cherry, plum, mocha, dried flowers and lavender are some of the many nuances that take shape as this superb Barolo continues to show off its remarkable complexity and personality. The 2014 was vinified with 100% whole clusters and spent 24 months in French oak, 100% of it new.

Monforte d’Alba. Lacklustre mid ruby. Great lift and concentration for this vintage. Exotic nose, but not the usual passion fruit. Plenty of oak, but integrated rather than dominating the nose, but it’s certainly felt. Hint of coffee bean too. Supple cherry fruit and firm, bitter/sweet tannins that build up on the finish. Laced with oak, but this clearly needs more time. Some ripeness here and just on the right side of firmly structured. (WS)
