This has an unwonted, intensely floral note of eucalyptus and tee tree oil, which makes it immediately recognizable against other 2015 Brunellos. Besides that, there are ripe rose stems and dried lavender. It has a racy core of boisterous berries that dive inwards and outwards of firm, structured tannins. The juxtaposition of steely resolve and intense florals are quite remarkable. Very classy. Drink from 2025.In Bond€316.00 -

The 2008 Barolo Enrico VI is a beautiful wine that impresses for its textural elegance and sheer harmony. The aromas and flavors come together beautifully in this sumptuous, texured Barolo. Dark plums, spices, menthol and minerals are woven together in this fleshy, generous Enrico VI. This is a gorgeous Barolo with plenty of upside potential. The Enrico VI is made from the Villero vineyard in Castiglione Falletto.In Bond€487.00 -

The 2011 Barolo Enrico VI is the sweetest and most floral of the 2011s. Rose petal, cinnamon, mint, sweet red cherries and kirsch meld together in a supple, expressive Barolo that will offer a long and broad window of pure drinking pleasure. This is an unusually open Villero from Cordero di Montezemolo. At the same time, there is plenty of nuance and subtlety in the glass.In Bond€463.00 -

Cordero Montezemolo Barolo Gorette 2000 exemplifies the pinnacle of Nebbiolo craftsmanship in the esteemed Gorette vineyard, nestled in the heart of Barolo, Piemonte. Esteemed producer Cordero Montezemolo meticulously harvests hand-selected grapes, ensuring optimal ripeness and quality. The wine undergoes traditional fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel vats, followed by ageing for 24 months in French oak barrels, imparting subtle complexity and refinement. The 2000 vintage benefits from a favourable climate, yielding a Barolo of remarkable structure and elegance. On the nose, aromas of ripe red cherries, truffle, and earthy undertones unfold, while the palate reveals firm tannins, balanced acidity, and a persistent finish. This Cordero Montezemolo Barolo Gorette 2000 is a testament to the region's terroir and the producer's unwavering dedication to excellence, making it a prized addition for discerning collectors and connoisseurs alike.

Cordero di Montezemolo's 2009 Barolo Monfalletto is striking. Firm yet silky tannins frame an expressive core of fruit as this gracious, supple Barolo opens up in the glass. Sweet red cherries, flowers, mint, licorice and spices are all woven together nicely. In 2009, the entry-level Monfalletto impresses for its balance and overall sense of harmony. It remains the most delicate Barolo in the range while clearly overachieving within the context of the year. I don't expect the 2009 to be a super long-term ager, but it sure is gorgeous today. This is a terrific showing from Alberto Cordero di Montezemolo and his team.In Bond€348.00
