2018 Barolo Brunate Riserva

In the bottle with the dark brown label, the M. Marengo 2018 Barolo Riserva Brunate gives us the benefit of age, displaying pretty complexity and nuance. The bouquet starts off with great intensity. You get floral aromas, ripe red cherry, wet stone, pencil shaving and licorice root. The ferrous soil that we get in the younger vintages has transformed here into ethereal licorice-like notes. This wine makes good use of the Riserva denomination by showcasing intensity and complexity. A limited 700 bottles were made.
