July 31, 2020 - Completely closed for business on day 1, and barely improved on day 2...
Finally on day 3 this has emerged from its shell and shows delicious amarena cherry and soft spices, with chewy tannins that are melting but still a bit astringent.
Based on this bottle, I'd guess this needs another 5 years. Should a Burlotto normale need 20+ years? Maybe, in 2006. -

October 29, 2014 - Dense, chewy and tarry, but there's enough fruit to buffer the just slightly astringent tannin. This has sweet amarena cherry fruit with bitter chocolate notes and a touch of orange zest. Young and barely evolved, but very delicious. I've never tasted Burlotto's normale before but I will be a buyer again. A couple of hours of air tames the chewiness a touch and brings out a gorgeously fine texture for a young Barolo. This is really a rockstar for a young normale.
Day 2: raw, wet clay, sandalwood, amarena cherry. Just a hint of development at the edges. -

December 22, 2013 - My first Burlotto Barolo and it was fantastic. Although it is the entry level Barolo, it had wonderful purity and balance with a long elegant finish. A terrific wine for the price.
