2000 vintage. Sweet fill. Exquisite cork extracted via the Durand but likely could have used a standard wine key. Darker color than expected. Decanted with expected sed. Medium/medium heavy body. Tannic, dark-fruited nose. Frontal chunkiness. Mid-palate resolution. Finishing solution, smoothing out after 5-6 seconds and gliding into conversation. Still a ton of youthful fruit and passion. Phenomenal (and, unfortunately, last) specimen. Need to acquire if still possible. Absolutely no rush to crush. 7.31.26. — 4 days ago

Forgot to add this… Very pleasant blend of Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, and Viognier. The crisp nature of Sauvignon Blanc is not lost between the creamier and more exotic elements of Chardonnay and Viognier. — 9 months ago

Wow, cherries! Nice tannins, provides great balance. Still finished with the great miners notes. Smooth for a Barolo this young.

This is delicious. Glad I have more in the cellar. — 6 years ago

Fantastic Barolo - medium bodied but light and silky on the palate. Blackberries, leather, smoked currants, tobacco, with wonderful complexity and balance — 8 years ago

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of three hours. The 2021 pours a garnet color with a transparent core; medium+ viscosity with no staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with beautiful notes of Luxardo cherry, strawberry, red roses, crazy sun-Alpine herbs, and exotic spices, porchini, the powdered cheese packet from Kraft, mac & cheese, and dry earth. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose (save for the mac & cheese packet, lol). The finish is long, elegant and saline. Furthermore, the wine seems to gain body and weight with air. This might be the best Monvigliero I’ve had from Paolo Scavino. Drink now through 2051+. — 10 months ago

Still a little tight, but opening up nicely. Cherry, leather, blackberry, good medium tannins…hard to complain about this one — a month ago

2016: at 10yrs, a rich expression of Barolo. The nose is refined with rich red fruit, camphor, and of course rose petal. Dense for a barolo on the palate but remains well delineated. Drinking well now! — 2 months ago

Probably on the down slide but still doing well. Color is still nice with a bit of bricking. Sweet tannins, earthy with good fruit. — 9 years ago
