Community Tasting Note

Monday, May 24, 2021 - Served blind in a Barolo flight as the last wine. Appearance was stunning, a dark ruby color with no garnet tinges, almost as indicating the potential longevity of the wine. Brilliant and clear, just beautiful lively color. Nose was initially shut after opening. With time the bouquet started to emerge with classic Nebbiolo notes: dried flowers, roses and violets, underbrush, truffle, pipe tobacco, goudron, and pure red and black fruit, macerated dark cherries, black raspberries and amarena cherries. A wide spectrum that kept changing constantly in the glass. Just mind blowing.
The palate was typical Serralunga: powerful, austere and structured. Despite its broad shoulders, the wine retained a certain elegance and finesse accentuated by an incredible freshness. Flavours of blood orange and dark spices carried the sip towards infinity.
Super balanced, harmonious wine. Already open for business given the difficult vintage. Probably more approachable than the 13 or 10. Still it has the structure and the acidity to evolve for decades, as every other vintage of this wine. Monumental, legendary. The pinnacle of Barolo.
