Score 91-94/100 · Drink 2001-2017, Robert Parker, Oct 2001

The dark plum-colored 1998 Barolo Margheria exhibits structure as well as a backward character. It is full-bodied, with outstanding concentration, offering notes of chocolate, black cherry liqueur, spice box, and earth. There is plenty of glycerin, moderate tannin, and a long, 40-second finish in this tightly-knit effort. It will drink well for 10-16 years. A Marc de Grazia Selection, various American importers, including Michael Skurnik, Syosset, NY; tel. (516) 677-9300, Vin Divino, Chicago, IL; tel.

Full ruby-red. Nuanced nose combines roasted plum, sappy redcurrant and underbrush. Lush and sweet, but with a firm mineral spine giving the flavors noteworthy verve. Sneaky intensity. Here the solid tannins avoid dryness, and there strong, lingering fruit.
