MARCARINI 'BRUNATE' BAROLO 2015 (MAGNUM), Piedmont

The bouquet of rose and camphor hit me as soon as I pulled the cork—absolutely intoxicating. On the palate, it's surprisingly elegant yet full-bodied, with a finish that lingers for ages. This magnum is already a centerpiece for my cellar.

I was blown away by how the sandalwood and rose notes came through on the palate, not just the nose. The elegance is perfect for a special dinner—this magnum is already the star of my cellar.

The nose on this 2015 is incredible—that rose and sandalwood combination is so elegant. It's surprisingly smooth for such a young Barolo, with a silky texture that lingers nicely.
