A Top Ten Barolo List Without Bartolo Mascarello On It

The outrage:

The World’s Best Barolos on Wine-Searcher:
Wine Name Score Ave Price
Giacomo Conterno Monfortino 96 $1244
Poderi Aldo Conterno Romirasco Bussia 94 $210
Massolino Vigna Rionda Riserva 94 $139
Luciano Sandrone Aleste-Cannubi Boschis 94 $151
Bruno Giacosa Falleto Vigna Le Rocche 94 $429
Giacomo Conterno Cerretta 94 $271
Gaja Sperss Langhe 94 $268
Giacomo Conterno Francia 94 $305
Voerzio Riserva Vecchie Viti dei Capalot e Brunate 94 $233
Giuseppe Rinaldi Brunate-Le Coste 94 $374

What a ridiculous list…it’s like the article is generated by a computer without any human oversight. At least they arguably got the #1 right…

At those prices I don’t give a damn about any of them.

…and no vintage specified…

Looks like a retailer’s list, defined by what they have in stock.

The real outrage is that only one wine scores over 94.

Bingo
