2001 Barolo Score card
2001 Barolo Scoreboard (updated 12/ 2007)
The wines rated are described (tasting notes) in the March 2007 blog and in a November 2006 blog. Ratings from a May 2007 tasting have been back added to the scoreboard. There is some semblance of order of preference within categories but that is not of importance. Most controversial are the wines of G.Mascarello and the Cannubi of Scavino , which were unanimously disliked by the tasting group. The Scavino wine for instance may have been a bad bottle (no corkiness or such though) but my own feeling is that the 1999 Cannubi is so much better. After 2 poor specimens of Mascarello Mon Privato a more typical (?) bottlechanged my opinion around. But there is a cautionary story for all of us who critique wiens==which of the 4 bottles was the true representaive?
Some wines have been also been added to the scoreboard subsequent to the tastings . If a previously scored wine is tasted/drunk again within a year of a previous sample a new score is added.
