Reviews

No matter the vintage - hot or cold - this special wine always stays true to itself. The 2011 Barolo Monprivato is not as precise or polished as the excellent 2010 vintage, but the wine offers abundant elegance and generosity nonetheless. Dark fruit is followed by pipe tobacco, licorice and cola. These elements achieve a beautiful level of balance, depth and unity. Some tartness appears on the close. This wine demonstrates that you can't beat an excellent vineyard site when it comes to making iconic wines.
Subtle scents of crushed herbs and rose petals gain intensity with air, as do the flavors in this elegant, red-fruited wine. Its berry and spice notes evolve into flavors of licorice and tarragon, taking on a tarry undertone that grounds the bright fruit. Its chalky tannins feel cool and bright, propelling the flavors toward a long and poised finish. The wine is surprisingly accessible now, combining intensity of flavor with an ethereal texture, and exuding a lovely floral perfume that I’d be happy just to smell over an entire evening.
