April 13, 2020 - Impressive aging. Very brown for an 8 year old. Warm alcoholic on the tongue. No tannins of note. Acidity adequate if a bit too pronounced. Good buy - happy I stored

December 26, 2016 - Enjoyed even more than the one more than a year ago. This is very young right now, but hits all the right notes in terms of varietal typicity and above-average complexity. I need to make Burlotto's Barbera a yearly case(s) purchase - it's never let me down. 14,5% abv., thru 2023 recommended
PnP, served non-blind over 2 days (2nd day more complete)

June 23, 2015 - Holy Brett! Barnyard in a glass for the 1st 45 minutes... pretty distracting. Once you made it through the Brett there was some good Barbera fruit. IMHO not approachable now and need some air and time. Was a good wine 90 minutes into the bottle.
Weird I'm the only one who got a ton of Brett.1 person found this helpful Comments (1)
