May 29, 2021 - I've been itching to try the '16 Burlotto Monvigliero since release and luckily March, Houston's wonderful new Michelin-level Mediterranean-themed restaurant, had it on their list this past Saturday. This lived up to the hype big time. A wow wine no doubt. Such a unique, singular wine that seemingly straddles the line between being Barolo and Chambolle Musigny. Huge whole cluster nose with ripe strawberries, roses, and tons of spice. Remarkably ethereal and lithe for having such flavor intensity. The floral components give it away as Nebbiolo but it's in a league of its own in terms of expression of the grape. That pitch perfect sweet Nebbiolo fruit in 2016 underlied by the whole cluster spice intensity here really creates some magic. It's so expressive now yet I can't wait to try it in 15-20 years. Wow
