2010 Luigi Baudana 'Cerretta' Barolo
95+ points Antonio Galloni, Vinous
The 2010 Barolo Baudana bursts from the glass with tons of energy and intensity. Black cherries, smoke, wild herbs, licorice and tar form a compelling backdrop of aromas, flavors and textures as this dazzling, explosive Barolo opens up in the glass. The huge, searing tannins are going to require time to settle, so readers need to be patient. This is a classic Serralunga Barolo built on power and structure. Hints of rose petal lavender and crushed rocks add nuance on the finish.
18.5/20 points Jancis Robinson
The cuvée is the name of the previous winery owner and the name of the vineyard. Taken over by the Vajras in late 1990s when Fiorina and Luigi Baudana made the decision to sell, although they still play a part in running the winery. Still very deep garnet. Glorious nose and really mature intrigue with spice and complexity. Lots of tannin underneath but you could drink this with food already.
