Tasting notes
The Agostino Bosco 2016 Barolo La Serra draws its fruit from La Morra, a subzone known for its silky tannins and elegant Nebbiolo aromas. This wine shows those qualities very nicely, perhaps adding extra power and fruit definition that is characteristic of the 2016 growing season. I do notice that the tannic presence of the wine is well developed, suggesting that this vintage could use extra years in the cellar to better unwind and soften. Dark cherry fruit is followed by licorice, dried orange peel and pressed rose.

The 2016 Barolo La Serra is a big, powerful wine with all of the natural tannic clout that is so typical of wines from this site. Dark cherry and plum fruit, espresso, licorice, dried flowers and leather add to the wine's virile personality. Although not especially refined, the 2016 has enough depth to drink well for at least a handful of years, maybe more.
