Fratelli Allesandria en favorit och det jag handlar numera ist för Burlotto. Ännu en side note vad gäller pris; när vi besökte Burlotto 2018 köpte vi Monvigliero 2014 för under €40, så det är en på många sätt tråkig utveckling där priserna bara stiger från handlare i EU. Man får hitta nya producenter helt enkelt...
1/17/22, 10:50 AM - Som sagt, om man är bekant med producenten och hans viner sedan tidigare är det klart värt att prova. Tack själv!
10/26/21, 5:39 AM - Thank you.
1/18/21, 7:06 AM - Tack och bock! Jag gav mig inte ens chansen, ångrar det nu. Det här var ett smakprov från generös vän.Häftigt vin.
8/17/20, 10:47 AM - Har väl inte utvecklats alls eg från min första flaska, däremot levererat konsekvent och känns som så bra value man kan få när det kommer till Nebbiolo. Utan att ha provat '11 skulle jag tro att '12 är ngt vassare, upplever den vara i fin fas redan nu.
7/7/20, 11:40 PM - You're welcome. I understand the fuzz and the notes about how approachable the '16 is already but for me this is mostly about a super classic (extraordinary) vintage with huge potential.
11/22/19, 8:26 AM - I have very limited experience from Tuscany 2013 Sangiovese so honestly don't have much to compare with. Tried the Cerbaiona RdM a few vintages though and 2013 feels very firm and super classic, much like many Nebbiolo from the same vintage imo. Evident quality but as you say, moving really slow towards greatness.
8/9/19, 1:52 PM - Oxidized, pretty badly. Bought two bottles about 5-6 years ago and both of them have been badly oxidized, close to vinegar. Been reading some good things of the '06 otherwise and I think my bottles probably is a case of bad storage before I bought them. (I've been storing them in a wine fridge at 12 degrees from day 1) Wasn't particularly hopeful before opening this last bottle...
11/26/18, 9:34 AM - I see that now, sloppy of me not to read all the notes on the wine before I wrote mine. Thanks for bringing that to my attention! Regardless of the distribution of grapes it truly is a great effort.
6/29/18, 3:02 AM - You're welcome!
3/7/18, 11:36 PM - Ok, perhaps my worries was a bit exaggerated. The few bottles I've had from Radikon haven't managed the swift shift in temperature that well. Thanks for the feedback!
2/6/18, 4:02 AM - Agree. Sad how the price just skyrocketed after that score. Remembering buying the Burlotto Monvigliero for a very reasonable price just a couple of years ago. Thanks to that score the wine now belongs to label drinkers and rich people. Sadly I'm neither. Great note as always though, appreciate it.
10/16/17, 12:01 AM - Great note, thank you. Very interesting, and perhaps a bit worrying after all the fuzz about the 13's. Elegance and transparency are usually some of Fenocchios trade marks imo. Been seeing more and more sceptical opinions regarding the vintage, or should I say more balanced opinions. Too early to tell of course, time will tell.
12/6/16, 11:02 AM - Have to say no. Had lost most of its energy and the fruit wasn't as smooth as the day before. Somewhat hollow on the mid-palate and a bit metallic as I often find young versions of these varieties can get after a couple of nights in the fridge. Combined with food my opinion would probably be a bit different. Nothing wrong with it, just not the same drinkability as day 1.
11/23/16, 9:43 AM - Hmm, not that experienced when it comes to madeira so difficult to say. But my guess is it will only get better for atleast three or four decades, probably more. Cellared in the right way madeira is pretty much impossible to destroy. :) But drinks beautifully already, you can't go wrong with this one imo.
7/8/16, 3:09 AM - Great info, superb notes. Had the '15 the other week and can really identify myself with your note although I couldn't exactly put it in words the way you did. The '11 is a very interesting vintage of the vdf, liked it a lot when released but seemed to deliver worse the following years. From what I read, and hear, it's starting to come around nicely. Sometimes patients is very rewarding when it comes to wine. :-)Appreciate your notes.
6/22/16, 4:11 AM - Perhaps you're right. Sure is interesting, as I wrote this bottle really caught me by surprise, didn't expect it to be SO accessible and drinkable. Always an act of balance with this grape, drink or hold, sure helps if you have a lot of bottles. Thanks for the info on the '07, tried the' 09 recently? Not much positives from that vintage but the Piè Rupestris seems to perform nicely...
6/22/16, 8:03 AM - I will keep my eyes open for the verdict. Ok, recently bought just one bottle of the '09, just to check it out. Will open it soon, just want it to settle down after the travel first. I'm more and more leaning towards following producers instead of vintages, more stimulating imo. Cappellano is obviously one of the best.
11/2/15, 3:42 PM - Thanks, it's a great wine!
8/2/15, 1:46 AM - Hello. You are probably right, patience is key here.
5/30/15, 4:56 AM - Hmm, both yes and no I think. Regarding the fruit there's always room for interpretation, but i don't find red apples, strawberries or such for example. It ain't especially crisp and zingy either (apart from the lemontwist I wrote about) so, the best of both worlds perhaps. It needs to be said that I'm not a very experianced Champagne drinker, so take my note for what it is. :) I do think it's a extraordinary wine.
1/28/15, 2:44 AM - Thank you! A wise choice imo. I will try to erase my remaining bottles from memory, convinced they will be amazing in 10 years or so.
10/7/14, 7:24 AM - Glad my note was helpful. Hard to say, all about personal taste, and who knows how the wine will age? One of those things, when to open this presumably great bottle...Either way, I seriously doubt you will be disappointed.
Thanks for letting us know about this problem. We will review your comments and be in touch soon with an update.
