Antonio Galloni 92-94 Points!

As always, the 2011 Barolo Marenca blasts across the palate with a huge center of fruit and tons of intensity. At the same time, though, my sense is that the Marenca is a bit more restrained than it was just a few vintages ago. Rose petal, mint, sage and tobacco all suggest a Barolo that balances sensuality with power and intensity with finesse, all of which result in a harmonious Barolo that will delight consumers for at least a handful of years, perhaps more. The 2011 spent a year in tonneaux followed by a year in cask.
