  • DM Wine Dinner (Canary Club, New York, NY): Pale garnet color. A little shy on the nose with medium intensity. Developing with rose petals, red cherries, leather, licorice, spices. On the palate, medium+ acidity, medium tannin, high alcohol, medium intensity, medium body, medium+ finish. Can drink now, but suitable for further aging. Very elegant Barolo. Benefited tremendously from a slow ox.

  • Very fragrant nose, strawberry, menthol, pine nuts, I think of Piedmont but without certainty.

    Ethereal on the palate, liquid lace, it's supple and pure, feminine style but while remaining frank with notes of menthol, sweet spices, strawberry and blood orange. Great balance while freshness, obvious wine while being deliciously complex. Large powdery finish, both suave and soft, with great length.

    Grand Barolo, to include in a Burgundy tasting! I had thought of Barbaresco.

  • Brief impression from a glass shared at lunch. The '09 Monvigliero is really impressive for the vintage. The nose here was a bit riper and simpler than the '16 I tasted a day later, but the core of the wine is similar, with wild red strawberry fruit and candied red floral tones. I'm sure if you compared any other producer's 2009 and 2016 wines, the gap would be much wider.

    The aromatics of this wine were wide open, and it was similarly expressive on the palate, with impressive balance, tannin quality, and acidity for an '09. Unlike other '09s, I don't think you need to rush to drink it, but I also don't see any reason to wait.

  • Heater week; 3/26/2023-4/3/2023 (Chicago, IL): This isn't as delicate as some of the other lighter vintages of this wine, and the ripeness shows quite prominently in the context of other bottles of Monvigliero. The olive/stemmy quality is in the backseat, though you can still pick out some of it. Not quite as resolved as I would like, but this is still drinking very nicely now. The vintage character shows, which to be clear is no bad thing.

  • Decanted three hours before dinner. Riedel burgundy glass. Very pale, most fragrant with soft earthy and red-fruited aromas. Airy and quite approachable, tannins being quite right for food. Excellent showing, more interesting and pleasing than the 2009 Duroché Charmes-Chambertin opened for comparison.
