2021 Alban Patrina Barolo Careful management leads to balancedThe 2021 Patrina checks in as 90% Syrah and 10% Viognier that was bottled in March of 2024. It has a beautifully perfumed, complex, nuanced style in its darker berry fruited, peppery, floral violet, and subtle orange blossom like aromas and flavors. I love its overall balance, it has silky, polished tannins, and just a classic, seamless, incredibly impressive style. Its a terrific introduction to the wines of this incredible estate. 94 Jeb Dunnuck
