Tannic is the 1998 Barolo Marcenasco Conca. While it reveals leanness, austerity, and tannin, it also possesses abundant spice in its backward, reserved personality. Ideally, I would wait 3-4 years before pulling the cork. Anticipated maturity: 2005-2015. Importer: Paterno Imports, Lake Bluff, IL; tel. (847) 604-89000
