2005. Primal nose, very closed. Hints if rose petal, tar, cherry pit and loam. Reminds me of Chiavennasca grapes from Valtellina. — 11 years ago

Dried red fruits, sour cherry, balsamic, rose petal, camphor and saddle leather, very sweet on the palate and coats your tongue with polished tannins and nice acidity, very nice vintage for Monfortino. — 12 years ago

Started out a little funky with a slight curry and old furniture but started to blow off and developed into a classic Barolo with dried cherry, Rosemary, tobacco and rose petal. Still a baby and needs more time. I am a big fan of this producer! — 11 years ago

This is a lot of wine for the $$. Lovely rose petal aromas. Delicious. Dark fruit balanced by classic Barolo bitterness. — 11 years ago

Tight, reserve yet polished upon opening. 很女性很温柔的感觉。After 15 min in the glass emerge with cherry liqueur, perfume, rose petal, gaining a bit more weight, expansive on palate and solid yet delicate finish. 非常柔亮，有10年清冷坚实的结构。 — 13 years ago

Light purple with hints of orange and brown. Medium-light body. Opened slightly tightly with notes of cola, earth, and bark. Some air (2 hours) revealed a rose-petal, cherry skin nose, and a lovely jammy palate. The medium to high acidity balances it very nicely. Some earth remained throughout. Very nice - recommended! — 11 years ago

Nice and clean, enjoying it with and without food. It has a touch of oak, which is very pleasant, and lends to the toasty vanilla notes that the label describes. On the first evening I opened it I tasted cherries and thought it was lovely and balanced. I also got the hints of florals that the label names "rose petal". However, on the third day, I struggle to detect the cherry and florals. But that doesn't come into play in its' score (I don't usually leave a wine bottle with wine in it for three days). Overall, I would like to have this wine in stock and at home, and I would recommend it to all my Pinot Noir enthusiasts. — 11 years ago
