The 2010 Barolo Monvigliero shows a pretty degree of color salutation with brilliant garnet and ruby highlights

Mullineux, Swartland Syrah Granite Vintage:2019 The 2010 Barolo Monvigliero showsThe 2015 Granite Syrah was matured for 18 months in 25% new oak. It has a perfumed bouquet of bilberry and mulberry fruit; white pepper and touches of clove develop with aeration. The medium bodied palate offers supple tannin, slight earthiness on the entry and truffle and black pepper toward the lightly spiced finish. This is very classy, perhaps just leaning to the powerful side of Swartland Syrah. Neal Martin
