Monvigliero Barolo Nebbiolo
Barolo, Cuneo, Piedmont, Italy
Outrageous pure cherry on the nose. Best cherries of a bowl of cherries. Unreal spice and florals. Rose petals from heaven. Stunning. What a palate. Superb concentration and purity with a psycho mineral wash. So complex and deep. Amazing depth and persistence. Really really brilliant wine. And it’s just opened. The class of 18 and Monvigliero shine through here. Wow the florals on the nose are just insane. Pure, fresh rose petals. Unreal sweetness and concentration but elegant and light as a feather. Nimble yet large scaled. What a finish. A knockout. Sick wine. Let’s see what air does. Nose is cherry jolly rancher now. Cherry flower. Pollen. Palate is sweet cherry velvet. Perfect tannins. Awesome. Long and super pure. Incredible stuff. Nose has crazy elite spice now as well after 3+ hours of air.
9.5 to 9.6 overnight there is an ethereal perfume that is cherry focused but under that age divine incense aromas. It’s utterly profound. The palate is so sweet and silky with bright red cherries that are perfectly ripe with such fine, nimble and sweet tannins.

Glad to see I’m still right on 18 and the critics were still wrong.
Nose: intoxicating on open. Penetrating dried roses. Some pink rose. Mountain air. Wow.
Palate: such sweet fruit. Perfect t early season cherries. Liquid pink roses. Silky. A touch hot for me or I’d go higher.
Still bright. Can see no reason this will not age well.
