Barberry Garden

Welcome to my independent dive into the world of wine.

I'm Boris Buliga, and this site is where I track my tasting notes, share scores, and document wines and winemakers that catch my attention. You'll also find results from tastings - both those I organise (check the event calendar) and those I join with permission to collect scores.

Over time, the site has grown beyond my own notes. Once a year, I publish summaries with some simple analytics - you'll find the latest ones pinned below.

If you've ever taken part in one of our tastings, you have a personal page here - quietly evolving over time. If you've forgotten how to access it, just drop me a line.

P.S. I'm not a sommelier, and I have no ties to importers or wine shops. This is a personal project - driven by curiosity, and supported in part by those who choose to sponsor the project.

Comm. G.B. Burlotto Barolo Vertical

If you want to experience Burgundy-like aromatic elegance, Barolo structure, and intellectual complexity, this is your producer. Few others match this stylistic tension between fragrance and structure, between ancient methods and modern clarity. Burlotto is not about power. It's about grace - but the kind of grace that quietly tears you apart.
