A Taste of Serralunga Dinner-La Festa del Barolo 2024 (Locanda Verde, New York): Also deep ruby although the lightest of the 3 Massolino wines. Swirling fruit aromas. Deeply fruited and sweet in the the mouth, although it remains bright and lively and has a leaner feel due to stronger tobacco and tar elements. This is perhaps the finest and most detailed wine of the triad.

At Lalibera, Alba. €80 of the list. This was quite evolved with leather and mushroon dominating, medium bodied on the palate, again leather, mushroom, some vestiges of red fruit, soft tannins, fresh acids and reasonable length. A bit disappointing.

Assertively primary- fragrant rose and violet, saturated dark red fruit, eucalyptus. Concentrated but compact, constrained on the palate. Lots to like I don't see profundity here.

Classic - lots of tar, plenty of tangy fruit, juicy and aromatic but with a strictness and tannic backbone that's entirely Serralunga. Fumy dark cherry and raspberry. Better at first - closing down after 30 mins of air. Not sure this will ever be profound, but it's not at all 'hot' and it has plenty to give.

Tät röd färg. Mörka bär och örter. Kanske toner av the. Frukten börjar tunna ur och tanninerna är lite dominerande. Men en bra och solid barolo.
