2018 Comm. G.B. Burlotto Barolo Monvigliero

The wine has definitely entered a new phase since my last bottle. Beautiful and typical nose, but the palate was all stems and pretty devoid of fruit. My concern with 2018 was whether the fruit would come back, and if it did, what kind of shape would it be in. Still a fascinating wine to drink and we agreed that blind it would be pretty difficult to identify as Barolo. Looking forward to continuing the journey with this one...

This is in a really fantastic place right now. Hard to say if this bottle was aging ahead of its curve, but it was showing lots of caramel and toast in good balance with the fruit, acid, and bubbles. Really nice early aged champagne, wish I could get more but sadly that ship has sailed.

The most open and enjoyable VV I’ve had on release, maybe since the 2016? Pear and red fruits, savory and mineral, and the je ne sais quoi that I am always looking for from a bottle of champagne. Showing better than either the 2020 VV or 2018 UR did on release, both BdNs which will need much more time to develop in bottle. Wonderful.
