1999 Giuseppe E Figlio Mascarello Barolo Monprivato - Italy, Piedmont, Langhe, Barolo (7/23/2008)
WIMLNR

Tasted July 23, 2008 at an offline.

From memory: Fortunately received some air thanks to libbyg arriving early. I want to say this wine was dark garnet color in the glass, clear hue throughout. The wine came across as still very young on both the nose and palate exhibiting more primary fruits like black berries and black cherries. As best as I recall the acidity was young and vibrant with firm tannins and hovering between medium and full body. This is an obvious hold right now but I look forward to the opportunity to try again in the future. I wouldn't rate it right now simply because it's too young and tight to render good judgment. Hold.
