Evan, I’ve followed the wine for many years now and I think that most would agree that Maria Teresa has done a superb job of taking over the winery without losing the continuity with her father’s vision. The joke they tell when you visit the winery is that the only difference between the era of Bartolo and that of Maria Teresa is that now there’s a telephone (it’s her name, she points out because her father would never install a phone in his own name; when I write to her, I have to send the emails to her cousin at the Hotel Barolo who prints the emails out and walks them over to her).

The 2005? A ripe, warm vintage for Piedmont… Personally, I wouldn’t begin touching the 2005 until 2015-2017… It’s been a while since I’ve tasted it (at Vini Veri) but definitely a 20-year wine if not longer…

Justin, our palates align almost seamlessly… thanks for sharing this…

Vinogirl, I’m pretty sure that the bottles I opened (at a wine dinner) in Texas had been heat damaged. It was as if the wine’s aging had been accelerated. Honestly, the wines were gorgeous and they tasted more like 30 or 40 year old Barolo… they were stunning in fact…

thanks for reading and commenting yall! :)
