Great focus to this. Stylish and lovely acidity, fresh, some slight mature notes but still very clean.

Maybe a little generic but nice slatey feel and wonderful acid sugar balance. Perfectly mid-mature, no oxidised aspects but not overly petrolly either. 97s seem to drink so well at the moment to me.

On the slide, but not totally past it. A bit cider-y, but with acidity , typicity and body too still.

Yes old, but really rather wonderful. Cork was very perilous but the wine was special. A little volatile, mushrooms, some menthol, underneath that something a bit plummy. Beautiful balance, lively acidity.

Wonderfully perfumed, olives alongside the floral aspects. Far less tannic than 5 years ago but also a way to go before it is really mature and still a little closed. Ripe but not flabby. I love this wine although at the same time it is a strange mix of traditional and atypical.

Corked. Very badly. The one sip I could bear to take revealed lovely texture and balance, and even some fruit flavours that were strong enough to survive the TCA. But the nose was totally compromised.

So so young. Utterly classic, rather severe, Barolo. Tar, mint, still quite tannic. Would have been 15 years out tasting this blind. But quite captivating and a wonderful pair with the authentically old Burlotto.
