  2006-2008 Nebbiolo Tasting (Bologna): Served double blind.
  It takes some time after the pouring to express more typical Nebbiolo nuances: overall we have an extremely deep ripe wild strawberry note both in the nose and mouth that outclass any other salty or tertiary hint. However, over time, differently from 2008 Brunate and 2008 Monprivato, it remains steady, not evolving as much as I would expect and remaining a step below the others. 93-94

  This matches almost exactly the qualities of the previous bottle from last year. (see notes) Really a wonderful drink.

  Outstanding a prototypical Monvigliero from Burlotto with intense and distinctive stem-spice married to Nebbiolo red fruit and florals. Delicious and certainly approachable but 10+ years from peak drinking.

  Nebbiolos, white truffles, Volume VIII (Chicago, IL): Now this, this is everything a Burlotto Monvigliero is cracked up to be. Clearly too young, but the stem inclusion and red fruit here makes for a very pretty wine that would be trivially easy to confuse with Burgundy on the nose. (The trick is the tannins on the palate.) This reminds me a fair bit of red Burgundy from 2008 or 2013 for its intensely perfumed red-fruited profile, but unlike those, this will need far longer to become mature.

  La Festa del Barolo: Gala Dinner (The Pool in NYC): Amazing wine. Reminds me a bit of fir trees, an almost peachy style of fruit and then still this really lively cleanness. Very classic and beautiful and is drinking so well now. Out of a 3L. I tried to go revisit but alas it was popular enough that it had made it to the main table and I don’t think we saw it again. It’s that kindof wine though. Just special.
