Estimate
A strong graphite aroma introduces this red, whose plum, cherry, rose, tea and tobacco flavors build with intensity to the lingering finish. Graceful and balanced... Shows terrific texture and purity.
Enticing, earthy scents of truffle, forest floor, violet, leather and woodland berry take shape in the glass. On the succulent palate, fine-grained tannins give polished support to juicy raspberry, cherry compote, licorice and a hint of tobacco. It's balanced, with fresh acidity.
Deep and expressive in the glass... Smoke, tar, dark red fruit, iron and wild herbs add striking nuance to a Barolo that shows all the muscle and power of Serralunga while retaining a mid-weight feel... The combination of beguiling aromatics, supple fruit and good supporting structure makes for a compelling, delicious Barolo.
