Noteringar:
2009-01-08 09:56 WA: The 2004 Barolo Brunate Vecchie Vigne is a big, strapping wine loaded with fruit and a generous, enveloping personality. It reveals a lovely purity to its dark cherry fruit, with spice, mint and sweet toasted oak nuances that develop in the glass, adding further complexity. This old-vine cuv?e offers greater concentration than the Brunate, but its massiveness has come at a loss of some of the perfume of the regular Brunate, which I slightly preferred for its greater freshness and minerality. 2004 is the first vintage of this wine. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2024. In top vintages Marco Marengo can give some of his more famous neighbors a run for their money. 2004 is without question one of those vintages. Readers looking for a source of first-rate Barolo at affordable prices should consider these new releases, all of which are outstanding.

2009-01-08 09:57 WS: Not a big wine, but very perfumed, with lovely floral and strawberry aromas. Full-bodied, reserved and very silky, with a long, caressing finish. Subtle yet intense. Stylish. From old vines. Best after 2011. 75 cases made. –JS
2009-01-08 09:57 IWC: By Stephen Tanzer Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar, Nov/Dec 07 (another new release from Marengo, but there were just two barrels of this juice, one new and one used) Good deep red. Precise aromas and flavors of dried rose, minerals, menthol and spicy oak; there's something Burgundian about this. Then lush, silky and deep, with insidious texture and flavor, and superb balance. Offers a rare combination of pliancy and perfume. Finishes with very suave tannins and a long, rising finish featuring late notes of mocha and brown spices.
