"The 1999 Barolo Monprivato (magnum) has reached its early maturity in grand style. I have always adored the 1999. It is once again quite special. A powerhouse in its youth, the 1999 has developed into a much more elegant wine than I had originally envisioned. Mascarello did not bottle their flagship Riserva Monprivato Cà d'Morissio in 1999; instead, all the fruit went into the straight Monprivato bottling. This magnum is just a touch less impressive than the best bottles I have had." -Antonio Galloni

"The 1999 Barolo Monprivato, a vineyard to which Mauro Mascarello has dedicated his life, shows some ruby with its dark garnet. The nose is quite complex, with much mint, spice, anise, and dried roses, and the concentrated, licorice-laced flavors, mouthfilling and with a significant tannic clout, are quite plush and sensual, but long and strong as well." -Daniel Thomases
