A sleeper of the vintage, Icardi's 1998 Barolo Parej boasts an opaque purple color as well as a sweet nose of blackberry and cherry liqueur intertwined with aromas of barriques, smoke, and graphite. Dense, muscular, and rich, with terrific ripeness and opulence in addition to a layered, moderately tannic finish, it will be at its finest between 2006-2018.
