The 2011 'Bricco delle Viole' is an absolutely striking Barolo Marco Marengo. It delivers seductive aromas of ripe cherries and red berries followed by sweet spices, violets, licorice and minerals which burst from the glass. On the palate this offers a beautifully layered and polished texture with remarkable structure and balance. The finish is long and chewy leaving behind gorgeous red fruits and spices lingering. A completely compelling Barolo that is very impressive today, but could also last decades. (Best 2016-2032) - June, 2015 (JD)
