4/20/2024 - repoper wrote: 89 pointsLast bottle of a case purchased on release. Slow oxed all day and brought to a restaurant. They decanted. Right away the nose was showing strawberries and cherries with a bit of wood smoke. Zero bricking and the cork was not even stained one bit. Wine was very tight and has an acidic taste that masked most of the flavor pro. Let it sit for 45 minutes whic only slightly helped the acidic taste. The wine never fully resolved. It got better but never fleshed out like my other bottles. Sad that the last was the worst. Just not a good bottle. Disappointed. |

3/23/2024 - HenrikJ wrote: 84 pointsPlump, tutti frutti, some mixed herbs, hint of milk chocolate and mint on the nose. Medium bodied palate, strong tannins but slightly weaker acidity and somewhat hollow mid. Fairly long finish with dry tannins and dried fruits. |

2013 Luigi Pira Barolo MarencaNebbiolo more |
3/3/2024 - FamousWine Likes this wine: NRThe bottle was uncorked 1 hour before the dinner and the wine was poured to enhance succulent duck puddings cooked by Madame. Medium(+) intensity fragrances of cherries, rose petals, tangerine peel, light tobacco and a bit of wood burst out of the glass. A tiny hint of alcoholic heat can also be detected. The palate is much more impressive. That's irresistibly delicious! Masculine and almost austere, it reveals plenty of firm textured tannins -wow!. They provide a seriously-grippy mouthfeel. A dark-fleshed fruity sap underpinned by a zesty, bright acidity mingles with flavors of mushrooms, blood orange, licorice and leather. It has a very good length, evoking earth, cooked tomato and balsamic aromas towards the finish. It's already tempting but I'm not sure this 2013 is at the peak: I guess that with a couple of years of patience the mouth can become more polished and more elegant. For sure a ‘great-value’ Barolo! |

2/29/2024 - connorpksmith Likes this wine: 94 pointsPnP over 3 hours. Didn't take enough detailed notes. This has all the qualities that I loved in the '16 vintage. Luigi Pira Crus continue to be some of the best QPRs on the market. I can't wait to see how these age over the next 10+ years. 94 |

2015 Luigi Pira Barolo MargheriaNebbiolo more |
2/23/2024 - TS Likes this wine: 93 pointsClassic Barolo. Still primary fruit, tar, rose, rasberry, wild strawberry. Still too young. Good fruit cocentration, fine-grained tannins, and long finish. Bought a case together with Marenca at winery in 2019. At that time, surprisingly the Marenca performed better, but now it seems like the Marghereria is catching up and outperforms the Marenca. Great wines both. Keep in cellar for another 3 years, and drink over 10 years+. Rating maybe a bit conservative with regards to potential. |

2/2/2024 - ethanwade Likes this wine: NRFirst time with any of the new release Pira wines at home after visiting the winery in November. Aromas of pressed roses, cherries, a savory but fresh herbal note like bay laurel, and a fresh mineral note. Medium to full body, high acidity, alcohol feels a little hot but this is so young and I expect that will integrate soon. Shows great typicity for Serralunga with its imposing structure offset by heady perfume and a core of sweet fruit. |

1/31/2024 - bonedoc wrote: 92 pointsBottle number three tonight, last bottle, thank God was not corked like the other two. Decanted and paired with Bolognese over one hour. Sour cherries, licorice, Tanic, definitely a food wine rather than a sipper. Last glass after an hour of aeration was expectedly a little softer, easier to drink. if you have any left, give it an hour or two of air before you drink it. |

1/18/2024 - Bluespolo wrote: 93 pointsVersato con Coravin. Intenso e profumato; ribes, ciliegia ma anche mirtillo con sfumature floreali. Un sottofondo speziato che impreziosisce, assieme a note balsamiche e tostate. Al palato il peso si fa sentire, ma i tannini sono di ottima fattura, e la freschezza è sufficiente a garantire una buona beva. Buono anche il finale speziato. Giovane ma già abbastanza pronto. Forse manca qualcosa per rappresentare appieno una delle MGA più rinomate del Barolo, ma buono è sicuramente buono. |
