97 points Monica Larner (Wine Advocate): "With its colorful fantasy label, the Domenico Clerico 2019 Barolo Aeroplan Servaj shows dark fruit and a velvety texture with rusty nail and pencil shaving. This vintage carries more overall concentration and structure, and the results are both rich and extremely beautiful. Fruit comes from vines planted in 1994. The wine ages in large oak casks mostly, with about 10% in barrique. Production is 6,000 bottles and 100 magnums. Drink: 2026-2050. (8/24/23)"
97 points Luca Gardini: "From a beautiful family history, the first Serralunga’s subzone experience (MGA Baudana) for the historic winery of Monforte, for the first time in the bottle in 2006. Notes of cranberry on the nose, with nuances of peony, undergrowth and eucalyptus. The mouthfeel has brackish tannins, with a fruity return and officinal sensations. (Sep 2023)"
96 points Falstaff Guide: "Brilliant ruby red with garnet rim. On the nose initially fine earthy tones, some cold smoke, some Assam tea, ripe raspberries, cranberries, precious wood. On the palate polished-creamy fruit, extremely energetic and with vibrant acidity, the tannin binds powerfully and determined, currently still a bit young and loosely knit, will grow-up well. Alcohol 14.5%. (10/6/23)"
95 points Audrey Frick (JebDunnuck.com): "A medium garnet, the 2019 Barolo Aeroplanservaj is assertive with the cologne of licorice, leather, and black cherry. Full-bodied, on the palate it reveals more building structure and broad shoulders, with a muscular feel Fleshy with red cherry, black tea, and turned soil, it is long on the palate and expressive of its Serralunga roots. Allow it another few years and drink 2026-2042. (5/4/23)"
95 points Bruce Sanderson Wine Spectator: "[$156 list] This red is rich, yet densely woven, forming the backdrop for cherry, wild strawberry, earth, mineral and wild herb flavors. Balanced, even graceful, with fine intensity and a persistent aftertaste of fruit, mineral and herbs. Best from 2026 through 2045. 500 cases made, 250 cases imported. (2023)"
95 points James Suckling: "Aromas of cherries and plums with some fresh roses follow through to a medium body, with fine tannins and a fresh and clean finish. Bright and vivid. Tight. Firm and structured. Drink or hold. (7/28/23)"
