February 3, 2023 - La Festa del Barolo: Gala Dinner (The Pool in NYC): From a magnum and this was just rocking and rolling. Really drinking well. Very fresh and beautiful. A bit more heft to the style than some other producers but still done in a lovely way. Spicy and a bit more secondary notes. Very well integrated. A wine that seemed in a perfect sweet spot and was just purely on.
February 7, 2021 - Just as good as the last bottle! Wish I had a case or more of this.
April 25, 2020 - Opened at 12pm to slow ox, double decanted at 5:30pm for sediment and enjoyed over 2-3 hours starting at 7pm.
This wine even on initial opening smelled amazing, iron, rose, secondary red fruits, even more intoxicating when I double decanted though a little taste showed the palate to be a bit tighter.
Wine was drinking near peak at 8pm! Have one more bottle and will revisit in ~5 years.
February 25, 2017 - Burgundy-style elegant and nicely poised. Lovely.
September 16, 2015 - This was a high performing bottle. Had a lot of Monfortino type notes, iron, winter spice, impeccably balanced, quite rich and well-balanced considering the vintage; excellent showing
February 9, 2015 - Giacomo Conterno Dinner with Roberto Conterno (La Pizza Fresca Ristorante): Fully matured Barolo. Sweet, somewhat monolithic, and very smooth. Soaked barrel aromatics, hint of wild carnation, orange peel oil. Drink up.
September 5, 2013 - Hart Davis Hart BYOB Dinner (Hinterland Gastropub, Milwaukee, WI): No detailed notes, but this showed a remarkably fresh and sweet nose, candied fruit, tea leaf and rose petals.
December 25, 2012 - This was an excellent bottle. Slow-o'd for about 8 hours. Mature, complete, baking spices on a steely background. Moderate acidity, medium finish, but showed lots of what makes serralunga and this vineyard so special.
December 25, 2012 - This smells quite good, soft on palate on initial opening at 11 am. Slow-oxing now. To be updated
August 9, 2011 - Dinner with Tim Kirk: Kirsch, licorice, earth and leather aromas. Palate has softened but there are still tannins lurking in the background giving it structure. Excellent and drinking well already.
