1990 Marcarini, Barolo, Brunate (RT94) Slow O’d for the day, decanted an hour prior to serving. Right out of the starting gate the bouquet was magnetic: cleanly balanced with ripe linear fruit and buttressed with classic Brunate perfume. Initially a bit short in the mid-palate with time in the glass it fleshed out in a big way. Seriously lovely bottle that just now is coming into its prime. This showing almost makes me drool to think how much fun we’re going to have with the ‘96s in another 5-6 years. I liked this more than the Bartolo, others felt the other way.
