2009 Comm. G.B. Burlotto Barolo Monvigliero
Community Tasting Note
HowardNZ Likes this wine:
Monday, November 20, 2017 - Long birthday lunch at Noble Rot (Noble Rot, Wellington, NZ): A pale colour, after the Burgundies. A developed, Burgundy-like bouquet of dark spices, underbrush, dry clay, red currants, red cherries and other mainly red fruit. On palate, a lighter, riper Barolo style that made me immediately think of 2009. Traditional in character, showing little or no oak influence. Olive tapenade, raspberries, cinnamon and other spices, dried herbs, soil and dry tobacco leaves. I'm a huge fan of this Cru but I'd put the 2009 a little behind all of the 2010-2013 vintages of Burlotto Monvigliero. Obviously, years ahead of this Monvigliero, but I doubt that this vintage will make really old bones. Still, a nice, savoury, non-interventionist Barolo.
