November 21, 2023 - This matches almost exactly the qualities of the previous bottle from last year. (see notes) Really a wonderful drink.

November 18, 2023 - Outstanding a prototypical Monvigliero from Burlotto with intense and distinctive stem-spice married to Nebbiolo red fruit and florals. Delicious and certainly approachable but 10+ years from peak drinking.

November 18, 2023 - Nebbiolos, white truffles, Volume VIII (Chicago, IL): Now this, this is everything a Burlotto Monvigliero is cracked up to be. Clearly too young, but the stem inclusion and red fruit here makes for a very pretty wine that would be trivially easy to confuse with Burgundy on the nose. (The trick is the tannins on the palate.) This reminds me a fair bit of red Burgundy from 2008 or 2013 for its intensely perfumed red-fruited profile, but unlike those, this will need far longer to become mature.

February 3, 2023 - La Festa del Barolo: Gala Dinner (The Pool in NYC): Amazing wine. Reminds me a bit of fir trees, an almost peachy style of fruit and then still this really lively cleanness. Very classic and beautiful and is drinking so well now. Out of a 3L. I tried to go revisit but alas it was popular enough that it had made it to the main table and I don’t think we saw it again. It’s that kindof wine though. Just special.

July 15, 2012 (link)(Comm. G.B. Burlotto Barolo Monvigliero, Verduno) Transparent red with a slight brownish-orange hue. An aromatic perfume of strawberry jelly mingles with hibiscus and honeysuckle. Ripe strawberry and star-fruit flavors, backed by fresh bay leaf, evolve into caramelized orange rind and cinnamon stick. Soft, unobtrusive tannins underlie a gracious palate, with no hint of the 14.5% alcohol. Simple as it seems at first, there’s much more here than meets the eye—including the fact that Burlotto continues to crush grapes for this wine by foot. Postmodern Barolo: The War That Never Was
