G. B. Burlotto Barolo Acclivi

94/100 PP The 2008 Barolo Acclivi is a gorgeous wine that captures the essence of the house style with a deep expression married to a classic sense of structure. Dark red cherries, flowers, licorice and mint wrap around the muscular, vibrant finish. The 2008 Acclivi is a classic, austere Barolo in the best sense of those terms. This is a fabulous showing from Burlotto, but readers will need to be patient. Anticipated maturity: 2018-2028. This is another strong set of wines from Burlotto. Over the last few years the winery seems to have made a major jump in quality. The traditional style here remains a bit quirky but readers who are willing to take some time to explore these Baroli will be amply rewarded. (Antonio Galloni, robertparker.com)
