Franco Serra Barolo DOCG 2016: Medium plus acidity. Medium tannins. Red fruits. Dried herbs. Earth. Leather. Tobacco. Long, silky smooth finish. This young Barolo was a pleasant surprise as my expectations were low (due to its age) however I was very wrong. It had great intense aromas & flavors, reflecting the characteristics of a finer quality wine. For me, it was a definite crowd pleaser with an amazing QPR! Cheers🍷 — 4 years ago
Maybe a bit past prime. Not much depth. Still fun to drink. — 6 years ago
Very nice wine for the price — 6 years ago
Long earthy finish, some berries, well blended. My Family and I enjoyed this wine with spaghetti and meatballs! — 8 years ago
A great, traditionally-styled Barolo. Long and complete. Dried cherry, tar, and roses all day. Finishes very dry with great length. @Lyle Fass — 8 years ago
Probably the best bottle of this I’ve had. Perfectly matured classical Rioja. Black cherries, some caramel, no tannins left and piercing acidity. — 4 years ago
Lighter color and body but surprisingly large tannins and flavors. Aromas of ripe plums, dark cherries and leather. Ripe cherry and Dr. Pepper flavors with some tobacco notes. Powerful with bracing acidity. Long finish with lots of tannin. Solid! Nicely aged. — 4 years ago

No formal notes. Sweet mix of black/red fruit, ripe yet assertive tannins, nice mid-palate juice, leathery. Structured and quiet now, shows potential. — 5 years ago

Great cab franc from Uco, if you are into that style. Fruity (no oak whatsoever), but certainly not sweet or syrupy. Fairly acidic, and with a distinct mineral taste, like chalk or graphite. Lighter bodied than a cab sauvignon or a malbec (lighter colors, etc.) But still a powerful wine. — 7 years ago
