Tasting Notes

The Wine Independent Susan Hulme - 13 Jul 22
The 2018 Comm. G.B. Burlotto Barolo is a blend from all of their vineyards and is a classic style Barolo. It is a bit shy on the nose at first, offering delicate strawberry aromas lightly dusted with spice, developing more violet and floral notes on standing. It has a beautiful, completely seamless texture, not heavy at all but not light either. One of the best classic Barolos I have tasted for this vintage. It is a seamless pleasure. A very Burgundian style with a juicy, fresh finish and superfine tannins.

A classic beauty, the 2018 Barolo exhibits delicate aromas of wild cherry, lilac and dried orange peel. There are earthy sensations and licorice root that add to the gentle volume and silkiness of this pretty wine.

The 2018 Barolo is aromatic, gracious and light on its feet. Sweet dark cherry, lavender, rose petal, mint, spice and sage are nicely delineated in this ethereal, gracious Barolo. Drink it over the next decade or so. The classico is built on a core of Breri, plus pieces of the other sites that don't make it into the Acclivi.

Palish youthful ruby. Lively, pretty, perfumed cherry nose and juicy elegant raspberry palate with fine, grainy, crunchy tannins. Long, elegant and delicious. Likely to be one of this vintage's best buys. (WS)
