La Morra. Just mid ruby with a broad, orange-tinged rim. Leafy cherry and strawberry nose. At first very round on the attack, then juicy, succulent and ripe sweet strawberry with a firm layer of grainy tannins. Long and in need of further ageing. (WS)
Pale orangey rust colour. Light but well-balanced nose. Round and just about fresh enough though without real punch and distinction. Not that dense but a little severe (no sweetness). (JR)
The 2011 Barolo La Serra is classy and polished to the core. Sweet floral notes meld into kirsch, red cherry and raspberry. This is one of the more floral, lifted Barolos of the vintage, while the structure tends towards the lighter end of the spectrum. Crushed flowers, mint and spices are all laced into the super-expressive finish framed by classically austere La Serra tannins.
