Burlotto, Barolo Cannubi Vintage:2019

Burlotto, Barolo Cannubi Vintage:2019This historic estate based in Verduno is renowned for its Monvigliero bottling, but in 2015 its Cannubi from the village of Barolo seems even finer. The nose is sweet, floral and lifted, with no trace of overripeness. Initially sleek, the palate grows in austerity, which is often a characteristic of this wine. But this grip and structure are welcome and don't dominate the spiciness and persistence of the fruit. Very long.

backward and firmly structured effort will need at least 6 to 8 years to add flesh and complexity and will likely require fully 15+ years to reveal its full potential

It showcases incredibly lush

the 2008 is medium to full-bodied

What struck me most

well-integrated tannin

The palate is medium-bodied with a slightly viscous texture on the entry

Perhaps this is a little sharper than the 2015 at the moment without the same roundness or depth

Opaque purple-colored

it should blossom in another five years or so

(50+ year old vines located in the lower section of the Clos)

grainy and packed with layers of black fruits and savory flavors

this should improve as it fills out
