($80, Domaine Select Wine Estates): Here’s another example of the stature of the 2010 vintage in Barolo. Serralunga, the village within the Barolo DOCG zone where the Paiagallo vineyard is located, is known for powerful wines.  Mirafiore’s certainly fits that description. Most amazingly, it has extraordinary finesse that belies its power.  Adding to the paradox of power and elegance is its explosion of floral elements more characteristic of the wines from the communes of Barolo or La Morra. Surprisingly approachable now because of that aromatic profile, I would still put this easy-to-recommend Barolo in the cellar for a decade or so to allow its complexity to develop fully.
