2007 Marcarini Barolo Brunate – Italy, Piedmont, Langhe, Barolo (11/16/2011) Strawberries, rose petals, a hint of exotic spices and licorice. Restrained and elegant, with great balance, not giving everything at the moment… best on the second day but at the end of the evening closing down. Wait a few years. (91 points)
