2013 Comm. G.B. Burlotto Barolo
Community Tasting Note
Tim Heaton Likes this wine:
Friday, June 2, 2017 - { winery } A classic Barolo wine. The definition of classic is probably open to interpretation for most - for me, it's not. This medium-bodied wine is tightly coiled at the moment, the tannins are a bit cross, and the acids, well, they've yet to settle in. Scores will probably be low-er for this wine, and maybe even for 2013 Barolo in general for the simple fact that these are less approachable wines, these will need 4-5 years, at least, before they begin to, by most standards, be pleasurable, become enjoyable. That said, I loved it, and left with my normal allotment for the year. And I'll be doing it again in 2014, a vintage the media, etc., have already doomed to inferior quality. Whatever. The more the 'pros' pan things, the greater it's likely that prices may stay reasonable...and with producers like Burlotto, one comes to know the quality is going to be there, no matter what, so why fuss with scores, etc., just buy as much as you can find, something that's harder to do each year, as demand is continually outpacing supply. Thru 2039, highly recommended+
