2017. Burgundy color, but not overly dark. Medium body with rich smokey palette and dark fruit flavors. Medium tannin and persistence. Overall, this was very enjoyable. — 22 days ago
Cherry, tobacco, and leather on the nose. First sip finds the wine to be mildly acidic with light tannins. Strawberries and hints of umami on the palate. It opens up after about 30 minutes. — 7 days ago
Light and flavorful — a month ago
Without food, this is an easy-drinking light wine with some muted red fruit and a sort of dusty, reduced earth/mineral note and not much of a mid palate—pleasant but not memorable. Served alongside garlic/anchovy/tuna/caper pasta, this wine is invigorated and gains new dimensions: bright red pomegranate, cherry and rose hip with a hint of sweet ocean air and Mediterranean herbs (thyme?), maybe even some cinnamon. — a month ago
Consistently Brilliant
Burlotto’s Monvigliero is one of my favorite wines in the world 🌎
DAY 1
Served with the Vinloq System
👃Needs an hour in the glass and 65F/18C. Underripe strawberry, eucalyptus, herbs, & roses. The olive tapenade arrives last. Can a wine smell silky?(synesthesia?)
👅Red cherry fruit, herbs, olives, tar & florals. Velour texture. Tar and cherries linger on the long and lovely finish. Elegant & refined
Slow Decanted the remaining wine in my fridge
DAY 11
👃More fruit than before? Smells totally amazing!
👅The elegant side of Barolo. Total class. Please don’t let this glass empty🙏🏼
The wine was stellar on each occasion 🍷
