"The 2008 Barolo is a wine I bought on release, and then bought again several times, as it has continued to improve over time. Silky on the palate and intensely perfumed, the 2008 is all grace. Hard candy, rose petals and sweet spices are some of the notes that take shape in a Barolo of total sensory overload" -Vinous

"Mascarello’s 2008 Barolo is a wine of extraordinary elegance. A sweet, open bouquet leads to dark red fruit, mint, spices and licorice in this pretty, nuanced Barolo. The 2008 is all about detail and understated finesse. It boasts breathtaking purity in its fruit and fabulous overall balance. A textured, finely-knit finish leaves a lasting impression. The 2008 is very classic in style. It will require considerable patience, despite its deceptively medium-bodied structure. This is another dazzling wine from Maria-Theresa Mascarello."

"There's a dark element to this intense, juicy red, offering black currant and blackberry notes, with a violet accent. Harmonious and supple, revealing refined tannins and a long, fruit-filled finish. Best from 2015 through 2028."
