Opened yesterday night to give him some air for tonight and took a little glass.
2013 Comm. G.B. Burlotto Barolo Monvigliero
WOW…never had such a burgundian Barolo before. What a stunning finesse&elegance. I am surprised how ready and open this Barolo is. Fair to say I don’t see 100/100. Maybe tonight?! Or Mr. Galloni has this special vision. Anyway a fantastic&impressive Barolo.
95-96/100
BTW, a perfect TN by m_arcon @cellartracker:
"I let the wine open two hours before dinner and give it a certain amount of air in the decanter. This Monvigliero was open for business then. Like some tasters already mentioned it is a very burgundian styled Barolo. Lots of red fruit like strawberry, a bit of raspberry and also red currant mixed with cinnamon, underbrush, rose petals and other floral components on the multi layered nose. Very fresh on the palate. The tannins are super polished and already very well integrated. Sometimes younger Barolos can be a bit harsh on the tannins but this one not. Elegant, balanced palate with a long finish. This is really serious Nebbiolo with a lot of potential left to go a long way. Can´t see the 100 points from Galloni here though.“ 94/100
Salute,
