Excellent. I definitely get the sour cherry. Fruit forward, big, smooth. I can’t believe the price point- would definitely get again, especially for $17 — 10 months ago
Peach fuzz, pineapple, and sea spray. Zippy acid with excellent mid palate weight. Orchard fruits with a pleasantly soapy minerality to finish. Good stuff! Thanks @Ryan Maxwell — 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
Earthy minerals and apricot. Lemon curd in the finish. A hint of marzipan. Lovely wine, one of the best Italian white I had actually. Love the artwork. — 7 years ago

16.5/20 (90/100) Приятный, немного ликёрный аромат в котором доминируют тона вишни и ванили. Высокая кислотность и интенсивные танины. Тона выдержки в бочке становятся более очевидными во вкусе. Очень хорошо. — 7 years ago
My WOTN! A "complete" Barolo, kinda out of a school book, that had it all: noble tannins, freshness and a first evolution into maturity. Huge layers of red berries, dried flowers, pipe tobacco, cedar and a bit of menthol. A touch fresher and more intense in the aromatics and tannins than the 1999 Rupestris. — 8 years ago
Sight tawny red. On nose tabacco, chocolate, red fruit forward. On mouth strawberry, medium bodied, medium tannins, some spice. (2008) — 8 months ago
A deeper, more resinous & leathery expression of a Langhe Nebbiolo, doing the best imitation of Barolo I’ve ever had. Reminds a bit of Vallanas with some age, given the more rusty, mineral core. Plenty of rose hips, orange pith, etc. Given the2+ years in old oak, plus another in bottle, a ridiculous level of wine & quite the revelation for under 20$. — 9 months 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
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
