Along with some fine older Italian wine, we've received some great bottles from more recent vintages from a collector who decided he'd bought a bit too much (as though such a thing exists...); this includes some excellent 2004s - it's been a while since we've had any for sale.

Brovia 2007 Barolo Villero
Lighter and much more open in the glass. Lovely - fruit and stones, rich, spicy, a lot of material, dry, savory, long - excellent. JW
Burlotto 2007 Barolo Monvigliero
Amazing finesse for 2007, especially given the uncompromising vinification (see our note for Monvigliero 2006). A wine for the cellar, nonetheless this has a lovely open quality, especially on the palate where it tastes very clean with good freshness and vivacity, along with a lot of depth. Plenty of ripe tannin; cocoa, tea, rose, chalk, truffle – an aristocratic wine, and one of the very best of the 2007s tasted. Gold Medal! JW
