Nicolas Belfrage: Medium deep and bright. Pronounced floral character on nose. Somewhat austere yet aromatic character on palate. A good wine that needs to come together: Drink from 2019. 88

Bruno Besa: Transparent garnet to tawny rim. Classic, open, mushrooms and forest undergrowth nose with rosewater and Bing cherries. Clean with hints of mint. Medium body; balanced palate that is complex and yet restrained. A classic Barolo to enjoy now, but it should age well for the next few years. 92

Andrew Jefford: Relatively light in the Monforte context. Pleasant enough and rather secondary, but a little bit sketchy, with some kerosene. All of the complexity is derived from the site, but I get the feeling that the viticulture is more rudimentary than it should be. And the palate confirms this. Drink this wine for the Barolo tannins but not really for any other reason. 82
