This wine expresses itself with aromas of wild cherries, tart red plums, dried violets and oolong tea leaves. The palate is elegant and almost dances across the mouth, leading with ripe red fruits that give way to savory flavors of fresh bay leaf, clove and balsam. Drink 2025-2040.

A sumptuous style, this red exhibits smoky cherry, raspberry, iron, tobacco, eucalyptus and oak spice flavors that are allied with a dense structure, with firm, dusty tannins. Terrific length reveals this wine's potential. Best from 2027 through 2047. 231 cases imported.

The 2019 Barolo Serradenari is a new wine in this range. Bright, focused and translucent, it captures all the energy of this high elevation district. Crushed red berry fruit, mint, white pepper, kirsch and orange peel are all nicely delineated in this super-classic, mid-weight Barolo framed by nervy tannins. This is a fine debut.

There is a more pronounced wood presence in the inaugural release of the 2019 Barolo Serradenari, which spent one year in French barrique followed by a year in Slavonian cask. Ripe with toasted cedar, sour cherry, incense, and orange peel, this medium to full-body red offers a rounded mid-palate with a sheen of ripe tannins and oak spice. It is ample in structure, but not weighted, with angular tannins and fresh acidity, while clove, raspberry seed, and tobacco fill the palate. It feels a bit heavy-handed with its barrel usage right now for my taste and needs another couple of years to integrate. Drink 2025-2040.
