Reviews & Scores
Incredibly polished Monfortino. The tannins caress your palate. Aromas of marzipan and dark fruits with orange peel and cedar. Dried fruits. Extremely floral as well. Full-bodied, with super fine tannins and a great elegance. You can drink now but will age for ages. Hard to believe it spent almost eight years in cask. Out in October.
JS98July 2012
Good deep red. Tight but delicate and precise nose hints at violet and minerals; strong evidence of calcaire here. Then suave, silky and juicy, with bright acids framing the subtly sweet dark fruit flavors. More about perfume than sheer structure or depth, but then this wonderfully intense wine is currently in a rather imploded stage. With its insidious fruit sweetness, this wine should be easy to taste virtually from the day it's released.
ST95December 2009
A rich, sensual tapestry of dark plums, cherries, smoke, incense, tar and licorice emerges from the 2005 Barolo Riserva Monfortino. Exotic, rich and layered, the 2005 boasts gorgeous depth and a sensual enveloping personality. The once-firm tannins have never been more elegant than they are today.
