Commune Monteforte d'Alba Barolo Nebbiolo

Nose is ripe and rich. Florals and chestnuts. Tar. Roses. Elegant and apparent at the same time. Vibrant mid to late season cherry. Really lovely chestnut. Super classic nose here. Juicy, clean and pure. Elegant. Sweet and soft. Lovey freshness and ripe 2017 but very sweet tannins. Beautiful purity and finesse but needs an hour or 24 as the 17 tannins are coming in strong. I’ll be back as this opens.

This is much more closed than the last bottle but shows some hints of what it could be. Roses. Floral. Sick florals. Licorice. Stunning. Dark florals. Meaty. Tree bark. Palate is sweet, silky, elegant and super pure but this is closed. Digging sweet fruit. Air will help it. Great energy.

2016 Barolo is seriously a gift. This wine is just ridiculous. Nose is platonic ideal of the best roses you can imagine. Just so high toned, so haunting. There’s just insane, clearly defined fruit as well interspersed with the over the top flower store florality. Mint, menthol, tar, tree bark. So much. So pretty. So elegant. So layered, beautiful and complex. Nothing like when a Barolo nose is turned to 11. Smells like Grand Cru burg it Chambolle 1er Cru. Has a RSV vibe to it. Palate is just velvet. Bonkers velvet. Unreal levels of sweet mid season cherry fruit that is so wel defined, so pure you would think this is a fancy Cru Barolo. So long and deep. The elegance is crazy. Then it crashes your palate with powerful and deep fruit. Amazing tannin quality and a dissolve that is just sick. This is special. Echoes forever on the finish. This wine stays with you in so many ways and has that “expensive wine fruit” big time.

Gorgeous nose. Lovely. Wow. Stunning aromas. Cherry, stunning texture. Perfect balance. It’s got that opulence of a great 15 but so pure. Stunning wine. What a 15 should be.

one of my favorites..

Nose is psychotic on pop and pour. Structured cherry fruit. Intense.

Palate is cherry, cherry cough syrup. Dense. Very bright. Almost alive on the palate. Very complex. Tastes expensive. Wow.

A stunning basic Barolo. Even on pop and pour.

Bought from fass selections.

My first Barolo, it lived up to the hype!!

Well balanced. Could stand to be left alone for a couple more years.
