Reviewed by Monica Larner Issue Date 28th Jun 2019 Source Issue 243 End of June 2019 The Wine Advocate The Margherita Otto 2015 Barolo shows a sweet and soft approach with ripe cherry plum spice and savory leather. This is a broad-shouldered Barolo with dark concentration and a rather heavy fully textured personality. The wine is richer and more endowed than your standard Barolo but that extra weight and density is very much part of the package of the warm 2015 vintage.
The 2015 Barolo is a very pretty ethereal wine. Orange peel mint dried red cherry cedar and sweet tobacco are all laced throughout this gracious mid-weight Barolo. The tannins are a bit gritty at this stage but it is a very strong first commercial release.
