Barolo 2017 Luigi Baudana

Robert Parker (92)

The Luigi Baudana 2017 Barolo del Comune di Serralunga d'Alba reveals a robust and fruit-forward bouquet, with pressed blackberry and plum, followed by licorice, iron ore and some of the candied orange aromas that often come with fruit from Serralunga d'Alba. The wine is tight in terms of structure, and you feel its strength, but ultimately the sensations are polished and smooth. There are no rough edges to these well-managed tannins, and this is especially impressive in an unruly vintage such as 2017. About 8,000 bottles were made.

A bright, cherry- and strawberry-infused red, with details of rose, eucalyptus and mineral. Linear in profile, firmly structured and ends with mineral and spice accents.
