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
