JS95: Restrained licorice, earth, strawberries and touches of wax, fresh violets and orange peel. Very juicy on the palate, with a medium to full body, crisp acidity and refined, light-framed tannins. Drinkable now, but best from 2026.
WA94: This wine carries a hot-vintage character, which comes as a surprise, with a medium-plus, viscous feel and a glossy texture. The Comm. G.B. Burlotto 2021 Barolo paints a broad portrait of Nebbiolo without the high-definition clarity or the high notes that you get in the cooler years. The approach is instead quite accessible and open, with silky tannins and a fruit-driven finish.
