Which vintage Burlotto Monvigliero to open?

WINE TALK

Most 14s Barolos I’ve opened have been open - it’s not a long lived vintage, no harm in opening them now. A 2014 Rupestris was excellent on pop and pour.

Personally, I think the 15 edition of the Monvigliero is a considerably better wine than the 14, and it has the advantage of being open for drinking now - I’ve had several in the past month.

I had one in November with my parents, who loved it and asked me for a couple of bottles to drink on their anniversary. “It’s not expensive, right?” [snort.gif]

My friend Ross Morrison, who posts here sometimes but may not have seen this thread (and who really knows his Barolo) has trumpeted the 15, which he opened last Friday, as his potential WOTY. He was blown away by how accessible it was. I will ping him and ask him to elaborate.

Just found some 15 and tempted to open. Recent notes on CT though indicate it might be shutting down ?
