1997 Barolo, Bartolo Mascarello

Never thought that this barolo was not so structured. The pale light ruby colour seems to have a rather light body, tannin is a bit harsh with medium to high acidity. On nose it gives graphite, soya and savoury flavour with misty and smoky feeling. On palate, the savoury taste is a bit over the whole tone of the wine with a finish of a few seconds. This wine is a bit flat to me without complex layer of structure and it showed sign of oxidation. This may be a singular case. (80) (Tasted on 24 August 2008, reposted)
