La Serra Barolo Nebbiolo

French Oak overpowers the fruit from start to finish. Time in bottle will allow some toast to absorb into an otherwise well-made wine, but this is simply not my idea of Barolo.

Ripe, modern. Deep and extracted. New Oak influence is prominent.

Another beauty. Intense and fruity.

Serviceable Barolo, certainly you hope for better but hey what can you do.

Quite smooth. Can feel the oak.

Young of course but this is great. Vibrant. We tasted it pop n pour and it improved with a few hours of air. Nose has herbs, smoke and stewed fruit. Complex and rich on the palette, still youthfully fruity and intense. Intense tannin but works with good.

Började stängd och framstod som platt. Efter två dagar i kylen är den mer på, josig bärighet, lädertoner och aning till viol kommer fram. Fortfarande ingen explosion av doft och smak direkt men fin i sin lågstämdhet

A lot going on but still too young. The tannins are too powerful and intense for me. But there is a lot of dark fruit and complexity present.

A superb Barolo - classic!
