Tasting notes
The 2000 Barolo Monprivato (magnum) shows all the raciness of the year in its ripe personality and exotic personality. A burst of sweet, red-toned fruit opens first, followed by hints of chalk, white pepper and orange peel that add layers of brightness. This opens beautifully in the glass, revealing notable freshness within the context of the year. From magnum, the 2000 is especially fine.

Mauro Mascarello's 2000 Barolo Monprivato is a pretty wine laced with red berries, rose petals and licorice. Sweet spice notes appear as the wine shows off its gorgeous inner perfume. The 2000 is a beautifully open, expressive Barolo yet it appars to have enough density to age well for another decade-plus. The wine is delicious in bottle, but it is even better in magnum.

Medium red. Captivating aromas of red cherry, redcurrant, dried rose and flint. Juicy, tight and penetrating, with strong acids giving the flavors superb definition. Not particularly fleshy now but wonderfully aromatic and complex-and easy to taste today. This has a wider range of aromas and flavors than Mascarello's other 2000s.
