  December 24, 2023 - Transparentes Ziegelrot, breite Randaufhellung, orangefarbene Reflexe. Rotfruchtige, jugendlich wirkende Nase, Himbeere, Weichsel, Veilchen, eher einem Barbaresco ähnelnd. Das doch recht warme Jahr kommt hier nicht zum Vorschein, scheint recht kühl.
  Am Gaumen tolle, tragende Säure, forsche Tannine - auch hier wieder fast ein Jungwein und so gar nicht 2007. Die Frucht ist hier nicht so präsent wie in der Nase, vielleicht braucht der Wein auch noch etwas Luft - mal sehen.
  
  Nach eineinhalb Stunden hat der Wein deutlich breitere Schultern, druckvoller, ausdrucksstärker - aber nicht die Spur von warmen Jahr oder gar Hitze. Nach wie vor sehr kühle Aromatik, scheint ein Gewinner dieses nicht ganz einfachen Jahrgangs zu sein.
  
  Tag 2 - hat weiter zugelegt. Ein toller Barolo, sehr sortentypisch/klassische Bauart und so gar nicht 2007. Hat eine grosse Zukunft, ich habe das Trinkfenster nach hinten verlängert, sicher 10+ Jahre auf hohem Niveau trinkbar bevor der Wein dann mehr tertiär wird.

  March 18, 2023 - Rich bouquet of ripe berries, liquor, flowers, tar, crushed stones. Full, lush palate, with sweet berries, cherries, salty elements, minerals, quite some grip and tannic bite yet nicely embedded and integrated into the other elements, leading to an incredibly long finish of sweet, salty, spicy and mineral elements. Hedonistic vintage can be felt but very structured, incredibly well done. It is very Serralunga compared to the Rocche and Brunate crus. Give it 2-3 hours of decant. Even better on second night.

  October 2, 2022 - Tightly wound, even with 4 hours of air. Very refined and elegant fruit, just not all that expressive yet as the fruit is a bit overpowered by the structure still at this stage. Would love to try this again in 10 years, the bones here are very good!

  June 11, 2022 - Bouquet slightly masked by a wall of rich berries and mint with minerals and floral elements behind. Incredibly smooth palate, rich, brown sugar, berries immediately being taken over by a fresh, spicy, grippy mid-palate leading to an incredibly long finish, minerals and spices tingling for quite a while. It is a bit less refined and smooth than the Rocche, which makes it a bit more interesting. One can clearly feel the heat of the vintage which however was perfectly handled, leading to an exceptional wine. Better on second night, starting to be in a great window, likely lasting for a long time.
