Score 90/100 · Drink 2000-2015, Robert Parker, Aug 2000
The first thing that came to mind when I smelled the 1996 Barolo La Serra was brandy-macerated cherries. The wine's medium ruby color is deceptive in view of its concentration. This showy 1996 Barolo offers abundant quantities of sweet black cherry fruit intermixed with high octane, concentrated, spice box characteristics, medium to full body, fine opulence, and a long, lush, powerful finish that undoubtedly conceals more tannin than exhibited. It should drink well for 10-15 years. Importer: Empson, USA, Alexandria, VA; tel. (703) 684-0900
