Germano Barolo Serralunga d'Alba 2021

Clara Johansson — Good but needs time

7/10

Bought this on recommendation from my local wine shop. Honestly found it a bit tight when I first opened it — took a good hour to really open up. Once it did, lovely clear aromas and a long clean finish. I'd probably cellar the next bottle for a couple of years. Decent for the price but not quite there yet.

Amira Benali — Proper Barolo without the silly price

8/10

I've been getting into Barolo recently and a lot of the good ones are £80+, so finding this at under £50 was a win. Smells amazing straight away — no messing about, just proper fruit and earth. Firm tannins but not aggressive. Had it with lamb shanks and it was perfect.

Jason Steel — Birthday treat that delivered

8/10

My wife got me this for my birthday and we had it with a big steak. The 14% alcohol doesn't hit you at all, it's really well balanced. Loved how the finish just sort of lingers without being overwhelming. Would definitely buy again.
