Barolo La Serra 1997 Gianni Voerzio

Professionele reviews

Robert Parker (91)

The exotic, tremendously extracted 1997 Barolo La Serra reveals overripe characteristics of jammy cassis, black cherries, toasty new oak, and cigar smoke. Huge, massive, and thick, with considerable fatness and a boat load of glycerin, this wine seems more forward than I believe it will actually turn out to be. There is considerable tannin in the 45-second finish, but it is sweet and well-integrated. I suspect by the time it is in bottle, the tannin will be more noticeable, and give the wine the structure and backbone to last 20+ years.
