Its been almost four years since I opened the last bottle of the 2005 Rosso Serralunga. Nothing new to report. Still somewhat closed and infused with wood and tannin. Not sure at all this is worth cellaring any further. Certainly an enjoyable bottle of wine but nothing earth shattering about it. Drink it over diner but don't expect a life changing experience.

Good Barolo and the only deviation from the classic style is the higher alcohol of 14.5% ( although it doesnt show to be honest) and a touch of higher extraction. No new oak here. We decanted and served. The wine is in a good place to be enjoyed now. Restrained on the nose, light cherry notes, light floral maybe. On the palate it has good firm tannin but it is well rounded and drinks well. Some more age will do it some more justice but not sure how much better it gets from here. 89-91

Lett moden lukt med pipetobakk, badebasseng og tørka kirsebær. Lys frukt , lette men faste tanniner, god syre, fin vanilje.

Lett og fortsatt fersk frukt kalk, litt alkoholstikk og ikke helt balansert

Vinho aberto antes do tempo. Precisava de mais 5 anos, pelo menos, para evoluir.
