93 points John Gilman (View From the Cellar): "The 2020 Barolo “Monprivato” from Mauro and Guisseppe Mascarello is again a ripe wine in the style of the vintage, tipping the scales this year at a full fifteen percent octane. Despite being a riper vintage, the wine’s aromatic constellation is pure and precise, wafting from the glass in a mix of cherries, gamebird, a lovely base of soil tones, bonfire, fresh oregano, camphor and a lovely topnote of rose petals. On the palate the wine is bright, tangy, full-bodied and beautifully transparent down to its soil, with a lovely core of red fruit, firm, buried tannins and lovely length and grip on the complex and well-balanced finish. This carries its alcohol very well indeed, with only a faint sense of backend heat perking up on the finish. It is still early days for the 2020 Monprivato, but I would not be surprised to see it age along the lines of the better Baroli from the 2000 vintage. 2045-2075+. (Nov/Dec 2024)"
