  • Score: 92 Vintage 2020 James Suckling Aromas of ripe cherries, red plums, orange peel and potpourri are lifted by a touch of mineral complexity. The medium-bodied palate is tense and juicy, with vivid acidity and a fine chalky texture to the tannins. The finish is vibrant and lively. Drink now or hold. Shelf Talker Full Page Review
  • Score: 92 Vintage 2020 Wine Enthusiast Dark fruits and wild cherries take center stage, their high-toned notes captivating the senses and intermingling with enticing spices.

  • Score: 92 Vintage 2016 Wine Enthusiast Rose-petal, red-skinned berry and new leather aromas lead the nose. The savory palate offers crushed raspberry, cinnamon and white pepper alongside taut but fine-grained tannins and fresh acidity. Drink 2024–2032. Shelf Talker Full Page Review
  • Score: 91 Vintage 2015 Wine Advocate The Garesio 2015 Barolo del Comune di Serralunga d'Alba is a spicy and robust interpretation of Nebbiolo that delivers a very developed savory side. There is dark primary fruit at the core of the wine, but more attention is drawn to aromas of spice, tobacco and campfire embers. The heat of the vintage may have played a small role in drying out some of the wine's fruity freshness. You also get the power and concentration that are characteristics of this comune within the Barolo appellation. I would suggest a near or medium-term drinking window. Shelf Talker Full Page Review
  • Score: 91 Vintage 2015 Wine Enthusiast Aromas of violet, nutmeg and tobacco slowly take shape on this. The solid palate delivers sour cherry, clove and black pepper alongside taut but refined tannins and fresh acidity. Drink 2021–2028. KERIN O’KEEFE Shelf Talker Full Page Review
