  August 24, 2023 - Still fairly youthful, this doesn't seem to have evolved much since my last bottle five years ago. It feels like an in-between phase, with some enjoyment to be found but far from mature.
  Retasted from Boston round a week later, and with about 45 minutes of air and a slight chill this was delicious. Good freshness, a pretty nebbiolo texture, seems right at the early peak. Some leftovers that saw a lot of air were oxidized when revisited a few days later. So this may be closer to the pocket than I'd previously appreciated.
  Final bottle in 1-2 years.

  June 18, 2020 - Very tight on opening. Decanted 2 hrs. Opened up nicely. Light nose of tart cherries and strawberries, medium light palate of same fruits. medium finish light on tannins. Nice QPR Langhe Nebbiolo. I don't thinkfurther aging will improve the wine, so drink over next 2-3 yrs.

  April 20, 2019 - Decanted 1 hour in advance, enjoyed over 1.5 hours. Lots of character on the nose: cherry and tar sure, but also beef jerky and tomato leaf. A markedly masculine vibe to it. On the palate it has really good volume and a terrific structure. Dry and savory with awesome grip, this wine is rough and rugged and very charismatic. Indeed very much old school all the way, there is nothing polished nor smooth about it but it is authentic and delicious and clearly extremely well made. A true baby-Barolo with good depth and really firm mouthfeel, awesome length as well.

  September 13, 2018 - Spent much more time with this vs. the taste a couple of weeks ago. Attractive, typical Burlotto nose of Amarena cherry and black olive. Lovely palate that follows the nose, with slightly chewy but very approachable and only gentle astringent tannins. This is very young still and should go another 5-7 or more years effortlessly. Based on my experience with the 2005 especially, this is years from peak. Only nit is there's a touch of heat at the back, but the unresolved tannin is probably contributing to this sensation. The astringence took on more prominence with time in the glass, so for me this is a clear hold unless consuming with fatty foods. I'll wait at least 3-4 years before opening another.

  September 2, 2018 - Just a taste but this was lovely juice, fresh red fruits with that hint of saline and olive that is trademark Burlotto. In a great place for drinking but should hold nicely and also improve further.
