James Suckling: 98 Points
An opulent Barolo with lots of dried berry, plum, caramel and hints of milk chocolate. Full-bodied, tannic and creamy textured. So long and intense. So beautiful.

Fragrant and loaded with finesse, this stunning red showcases Barolo's elegant side. It opens with enticing scents of rose, violet, perfumed berry and menthol while the radiant palate delivers cherry, cranberry, star anise and baking spice. It's impeccably balanced, with taut silky tannins and bright acidity that lend compelling tension. Absolutely gorgeous!

The 2013 Barolo (magnum) is, in my estimation, one of the wines of evening. Deep, powerful and brooding, the 2013 offers up kaleidoscope of aromas, flavors and textures that do not let up. Plum, rose petal, kirsch, lavendar and spice lend an exotic flair throughout. Magnificent.

Bartolo Mascarello's 2013 Barolo is made with the estate's traditional blend of vineyard sites. This includes the San Lorenzo cru that will go offline starting with the 2015 vintage. This is a classic and traditional interpretation of Nebbiolo with an absolutely pristine and polished flavor profile. The bouquet opens to pressed violet, cassis, licorice, wild sage and cola. There is an elegant mineral imprint as well with rusty iron and iodine. This edition is evermore solid and centered compared to the warmer 2012 vintage. It will also require extra bottle aging in order to bring out its natural, but nuanced intensity.
Wine Spectator: 96 Points
Round and smooth, with a core of cherry surrounded by leather, licorice and underbrush flavors. Tobacco and mineral accents mingle and add complexity as this cruises to a lingering aftertaste, building to the expansive finish.
