This wine is singing right now and was a pitch perfect pairing with broiled Salmon and broccoli with toasted pine nuts. The nose is ever so slightly oxidative with dried fruits and a light-potpourri floral character. The acid envelops the palate but in a way that is in perfect balance with the significant weight of the wine. The citrusy salinity finishes clean and long and brings me back to Vernazza. — 10 days ago

Beautifully expressive at the moment. A brooding, earthy attack gives way to an elegant, candied fruit finish. Aromatic roses with some asphalt and earthy notes up front with a finish of cherries. — 25 days ago

Palladino is one of the oldest wineries in Serralunga, dating back to 1870. Powerful yet elegant. Strong aromas of anise, forest floor, leather, cherry. That typical beautiful expression of blue marl (calcarous clay) from Serralunga D’Alba. 36 months in botti. Paired excellent with a chanterelle truffle risotto. Very much age worthy! Excellent Barolo! Roscioli wine club. — 15 days ago

Nose: tobacco. Maybe some cherry cough syrup. Black cherry. Palate: deep cherry. Juicy. Palate staining. Ass kicking. Very good depth and density. Long.

Young but quite good.

Robbing the cradle, but so delicious 🤤 captures the best of Serralunga but with a sense of generosity. Classy, structured, power and elegance in harmony even at this stage in its life. More time would certainly bring more complexity, but with leg of lamb roast this was killer. Rose petal, exotic spices, dried flowers, eucalyptus, black cherries, clove, camphor and limestone. — 12 days ago

Without a question, the darkest Barolo I've ever had. Deep dark red, with a rim that's beginning to turn. Cherry tobacco, chocolate. Very firm tannins, 15% ABV, 2010.... I bet this could lay down to sleep for a long long time.

Reddish tawny. Soft and delicate nose. Notes of black cherry, anise, cranberry, red rose petals and some plank floor. Smooth in the mouth. Fruit and tannins melt together. Not overly Barolo like but very tasty nonetheless. Still primary. — 9 days ago

Plenty of fruit left: prune, raisin, fig, dried orange peel, dried cranberry, rosemary and bay leaves, crushed stone, blood, allspice, roasted leaves. Tar, leather, balsamic vinegar, sour cherry and mint on the palate. 13.5% abv. Elevated acidity, elevated pulverized sweet tannins, and medium+ finish. — 11 days ago

Miles to go. Needed five days of rough handling to show very primary elements of tea rose, umeboshi, hard crack caramel and intense mineral savor. The one interesting thing is that the tannins are soft and dusty from the get. Don’t bother checking back for 5-7 years on this one. — 12 days ago
