| Marcarini | Barolo Brunate DOCG | 2013 | Vinous | 01/02/2017 | 91 | ||||||
Verbiage“The 2013 Barolo Brunate is laced with the essence of dark cherry, herb, licorice, sage, tobacco and menthol. The aromatic intensity, intrigue and textural depth of Brunate comes through nicely. Deep, rich and beautifully layered, the 2013 offers lovely depth and balance in the classic understated Marcarini style.” -Antonio Galloni Feb. 2017 |

| Marcarini | Barolo La Serra DOCG | 2013 | Vinous | 01/02/2017 | 90 | ||||||
Verbiage“Marcarini’s 2013 Barolo La Serra is a very pretty, super-classic wine with plenty of La Serra aromatics and tannic grip. Sweet floral notes, crushed red berries, white pepper and mint are some of the signatures. Weightless and a touch ethereal, the 2013 possesses good depth, with beams of supporting acidity and tannin that extend the finish nicely. I would prefer to drink the 2013 sooner rather than later, as it does not appear to be built for extended cellaring.” -Antonio Galloni Feb. 2017 |

Verbiage“A mouthwatering red, well-meshed and expressive, offering finegrained tannins layered with crushed cherry and raspberry, spice box and orange peel flavors, with rich notes of loamy earth and smoke. Long and lasting on the zesty finish. Drink now through 2027. 8,300 cases made.” —A.N., Wine Spectator Feb. 2017 |

Verbiage“A pretty valpo with plenty of ripe fruit in addition to walnut undertones. Medium to full body, lightly chewy tannins and a long, flavorful finish. Drink now.” -James Suckling, Feb. 1, 2017 |

| Private: Boscarelli | Vino Nobile di Montepulciano Il Nocio DOCG | 2013 | Wine Spectator | 01/01/2017 | 95 | ||||||
Verbiage“Offering a beam of pure cherry, currant and iron flavors, this red hits all the right notes and has the backbone to develop. Tightly wound now, but decanting or a few years in the cellar will help this relax. Earth and tobacco elements gird the finish. Best from 2020 through 2033. 400 cases made.” -BS, Wine Spectator, Jan. 2017 |
