TN: 2016 Comm. G.B. Burlotto Barolo Monvigliero (Italy, Piedmont, Langhe, Barolo)

Thanks Jon that is very helpful. We are doing short rib so will pick something with more tannin and probably pair this with a cheese course.

Doesn’t need the air time. In fact, some in the group thought it was better earlier and lost some of the fruit with too much air. You don’t have to rush to drink it, but no need to decant.

edit: should note the tannins are very silky and hardly noticeable. If the meat course you are thinking about is on the heavier side (ie a steak, or something heavily sauced), then the Burlotto may not be the right pairing.

Continuing the trend of astronomical prices. Saw an email today for this at over $1,000 a bottle on pre-arrival. 2015 was half that at $500

If anyone wants to buy the one each of Burlotto Monvigliero, Cannubi, and Aclivvi from me for $3000 I will cover the shipping. I’ll even give you a deal-$2700, a full 10% off. That is crazy town indeed.

What is crazy is that’s not completely out of line from what I’m seeing on wine searcher.
