Robert Parker (96)

The 2017 Barolo Monvigliero opens to a fine and light ruby color. This whole-cluster wine is elegant from all sides no matter how you approach it. To the bouquet, it offers smooth berry and spice, with lots of blue flower, dried lavender and lilac. A second aromatic layer centers on dry stone, limestone and some crushed white pepper. To the palate, it shows fine but tight tannins that are still nervous, like a closed fist. What I find most interesting about this warm-vintage expression from Monvigliero is that although the floral imprint is intact, the bouquet is broad enough to make room for spice, cherry and grilled herb. It feels like this bouquet operates on a bigger platform in 2017, but it requires patience nonetheless. Production is 7,500 bottles.

Falstaff (97)

Glänzendes Rubingranat mit aufhellendem Rand. Überaus duftig am Gaumen, wirkt sehr frisch, viel Erdbeere und knackige Kirsche, feines Spiel. Geschliffen und elegant am Gaumen, öffnet sich mit Tannin, das am Beginn feinmaschig ist, dann im Finale aber auch ordentlich Druck aufbaut, im Nachhall reife Fruchtnoten.

The aromas alone will stop you in your tracks thanks to a compelling combination of pressed rose, crushed mint, pine forest and a whiff of woodland berries. Full-bodied and elegantly structured, the firm, delicious palate delivers red cherry, pomegranate, licorice and salt alongside tightly wound, noble tannins. Drink 2025–2037. Kerin O’Keefe
