The 2015 Barolo Serralunga d'Alba opens to a broad and wide span of dark aromas that include dried blackberry, spice, tobacco and crushed stone. The delivery of those notes is horizontal and far reaching. Give the wine a few extra minutes in the glass, and the wine begins to unpack what I would describe as vertical aromas of balsam herb and licorice that lift gracefully from the bouquet. This is a textbook expression from Serralunga d'Alba.
