G.B. Burlotto 2022 Barolo, Piedmont

98 Points - James Suckling:
A complex and classy Barolo with vermouth-like aromas of cinnamon candy, rhubarb, potpourri, wild strawberries, dried cherries, angelica and licorice. Full-bodied and warming, it shows freshness with thick, muscular and dusty tannins and balanced fruit. Drinkable now, but best from 2027.

93 Points - Vinous:
The 2022 Barolo is stellar. It is certainly the wine of the vintage, taking into account quality at a price that is likely to remain quite fair. The Burlotto family chose not to bottle their 2022 single-vineyard Barolos because they thought those wines were not singular enough to be bottled separately. Instead, all the lots were blended into a single wine. The 2022 offers up copious dark Nebbiolo fruit along with hints of leather, spice box, mint, blood orange and white pepper. Time in the glass does wonders, as the 2022 continues to open with a bit of aeration. It's a gorgeous wine in every way. (Drink between 2027-2042)
