Lot #778. Giuseppe Mascarello Barolo Monprivato 1989

Description: Consists of 6 Bottles, 0.75L
Region: Italy, Piedmont, Barolo.
Score: 98 AG.
"The 1989 Barolo Monprivato is staggering in its freshly cut roses, spices and hard candy. The wine possesses a level of inner sweetness and kaleidoscopic, multi-dimensional aromas that give me chills. This remarkably fresh, vibrant and chiseled Barolo continues to develop beautifully in the glass, revealing shade after shade of nuance. Mascarello's 1989 Barolo Monprivato remains one of the greatest wines ever made - from any region. Although the wine is almost certain to last beyond my drinking window, it would be a shame to miss it while the fruit is so gorgeous." Vinous, Feb 2010
Provenance: The Yuzu Cellar
Notes: 2 lightly nicked labels, 3 very lightly scuffed labels.
