2016 Scavino Barolo Magnum

(95 Points) Showing Enrico Scavino's signature at the bottom of the label, this is a classic expression of Barolo. The Paolo Scavino 2016 Barolo offers impeccable balance and an all-pleasing approach. There is something for everyone, especially die-hard Nebbiolo lovers, with energy, power, aromatic finesse and elegant tannins. Fruit for this wine is sourced from a half-dozen vineyard sites from across the appellation, so you get some of the power of Serralunga d'Alba and the precision of Castiglione Falletto. The scope of this wine is wide and broad, offering sweeping panoramic views of this unique grape from Piedmont. This is a terrific value. Robert Parker's Wine Advocate

Wine Watch Tasting Notes:  A big bouquet of red cherry liquor and 7 vineyards go into this wine this gives you a complex blend featuring several different vineyard sites very pretty nose with fresh flowers, beautiful spice, red licorice and perfume a very forward and seductive bouquet, first year they use barrique and the second year they use large cask so a combination of both types of oak.  They make 38,000 bottles of this produced a nice meaty character and some black tar like notes.  Beautiful spice here on the tongue with some tannins but showing nicely already.            Excellent +
