Barolo Serralunga d'Alba Pico Maccario 2021 (750ML)

95 Points, Kerin O'Keefe, KerinOKeefe.com: "Truffle, sun-warmed hay, red berry and mentholated aromas mingle with citrus on this radiant Barolo. Still youthfully austere–and that’s a good thing for a young wine destined for lengthy aging–the linear, full-bodied palate shows crushed raspberry, red cherry, cake spice and menthol alongside a backbone of firm, refined tannins. Vibrant acidity provides balance and energy. Drink 2031–2041." 10/24

94 Points, Michaela Morris, Decanter: "Better known for Barbera from the Monferrato zone, Pico Maccario expanded into the Langhe in 2016. The estate controls vineyards in some of Barolo’s most distinguished sites, such as Cannubi Boschis and Vignarionda. Aged in 25-hectolitre Slavonian oak casks, this village bottling hints at its breeding. It is subtle yet seductive, with earthy charms and hints of cocoa. Warm and mouthfilling, mature plum is offset by crunchy minerals and long, elegant tannins with al dente bite. Very harmonious now but has the stuffing, structure and intrigue for another decade..." 01/25
