Score 90-93/100 · Drink 2015, Robert Parker, Aug 1999

The 1996 Barolo Margheria combines the best of the traditional style of Barolo with the more progressive modern wine making style. The color is a saturated plum. Over-ripe aromas of black fruits are accompanied by scents of soy, coffee, smoke, licorice, and dried herbs. Dense and full-bodied, with terrific fruit intensity, this multidimensional, layered wine is exceptionally rich yet sweet and forward. Anticipated maturity: now-2015. A Marc de Grazia Selection, various American importers, including Michael Skurnik, Syosset, NY; tel. (516) 677-9300, Vin Divino, Chicago, IL; tel.

Medium orange-tinged red. Expressive aromas of redcurrant liqueur and underbrush. Suppler, sweeter and riper than the Marenca; not especially complex but mellow and enticing. Finishes with very good length and nicely buffered, relatively gentle tannins.
