The 2005 reveals Monprivato's more tannic, structured side—a vintage where rigorous selection concentrated everything into a wine of considerable heft and body. Geraniums, roses, and spices lead the bouquet, backed by orange peel, mint, tobacco, and dried cherry that emerge with air. This is serious, age-worthy Barolo that demands patience but promises a place among the vineyard's great bottlings. A wine for collectors building cellars, not for immediate drinking.

Professional Reviews

Antonio Galloni

AG 95
"Like the 1999, the 2005 Monprivato (magnum) emerges from a vintage in which Mascarello did not bottle their Riserva Monprivato Cà d'Morissio. Rich and explosive in the glass, the 2005 offers up tons of red-toned Monprivato fruit intermingled with scents of blood orange, iron, chalk and mint that add complexity. Superb." -Antonio Galloni

"Really classic mature Barolo on the nose. Hint of paint and certainly not low in VA but a lovely pure example. Textbook stuff. Bone-dry finish. Real delicacy. Bring on the white truffles... Not for the long term."

Wine Spectator

WS 92
"A lean, sinewy style, with eucalyptus, briar and tar notes. Opening with air, this shows a suppleness that needs time to manifest itself. A tighter expression than the Cà d'Morissio, this reflects the vintage."
