Description

Barolo 1996
Falletto di Serralunga Riserva, B. Giacosa
1lscl, 1tl
Bottle (2)


"The 1996 Barolo Falletto de Serralunga (Red Label Riserva) possesses extraordinary presence and stature. Dark garnet/ruby-colored, it offers a tight but promising nose of road tar, scorched earth, truffles, blackberries, cherries, and espresso. This muscular, massive wine gave me chills. It is an exquisite, virtually perfect Barolo that requires a decade of cellaring, and should last for 30-40 years. I remember wishing I were twenty years younger when I tasted it prior to bottling... I still feel the same way. Awesome!" (98 pts. Robert Parker, Wine Advocate, June 2001)
