  A cooler and deeper nose than the '95 Rupestris. Truly intoxicating florals, red fruits and balsamic nose. On the palate, expansive with tar, roses, spice in a palate flooding, yet simultaneously graceful frame. Iron fist in a velvet glove. Take the best parts of the Rupestris, distill them into more intensity, then deliver in a more graceful mode. Finishes simultaneously long and incredibly focused. Masterful. Early peak. Bravo. 97 might be stingy.

  Best Bottle before Clos du Mesnil Vertical Tasting (Rocaille Düsseldorf): blind
  An almost perfect riped Barolo. Cherry, tar, violet, licorice and spicy notes, ripe tannins. Close to his peak. 95

  Winorama: A winter in Wineland III; 1/4/2019-1/13/2019 (Portland/Willamette, Eureka, Napa): I wish I had taken more detailed notes on this but we drank over dinner with friends so it's more a note on general impressions. This was really wonderful though. Has a great balance between a certain lightness in the mouth and a softer wine and more of a depth of flavor. Lots of fruit still here. A wine that felt a bit versatile although I should note I ordered the duck bolognese so this was very well suited to that. Lots of spice notes. Interesting and very enjoyable.

  Beautiful floral and deep nose with tar, balsam, menthol, blacker fruit and spice. Serralunga power with grace. Rich, yet not heavy with beautiful balance, great depth, inner perfume and great length. Still very youthful but not grumpy and barely starting to hint at some secondary development. Poise, power, and grace. A terrific wine with a great future. 96 pts
