Serralunga d'Alba Barolo Nebbiolo 2021

9.3

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of a couple of hours. The 2021 Classico pours a bright garnet color with a transparent core; medium+ viscosity with no staining of the tears. On the nose the wine is developing with beautiful notes of ripe Morello cherry, raspberry, tart forest strawberry’s, a whole bouquet of roses, hibiscus, saltwater taffy, tar, assorted green herbs, old wood and dry dusty earth. After about an hour or so, pomegranate enters the chat. On the palate, the wine is bone dry with high tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long. These are early days but I’m really excited to track how these evolve with time. Drink now through 2051. — 2 days ago

So excited for the Piedmont 2021s.

@Pooneet K I’ve had enough to confidently believe they are built for the long haul.

In good shape. Pretty on the nose, very muscular on the palate. Iron, blood, and roses. Lots of structure. Almost full-bodied. — 24 days ago

Hopefully good! I’ve had mixed luck with ‘08s from various producers.

Still evolving. Presented as a bit one dimensional on opening. Bright fruit but missing grip and structure. Set it aside. Day two a different wine. Deeper mouth feel, fine tannin, nice round finish. — 12 days ago
