| Tasting note |
Enticing scents of crushed mint, new leather, rose petal and red berry take center stage. The mint note carries over to the precise vibrant palate along with red cherry, wild raspberry and star anise. Taut refined tannins provide structure while fresh acidity lends balance. Drink 2023–2043. By Kerin O'Keefe @ Wine Enthusiast, Sep 2017.
The 2013 Barolo Cerequio is a wine of deep, underlying power, grit and determination. The wine opens to black fruit and earthy overtones with sticky tar, licorice and crushed river stone. Surprisingly, the primary fruit is not a protagonist. Instead, the wine offers a smoky and evolved personality that comes as a pleasant surprise. You can taste the youth of the wine, however, on the palate. The nervous tannins need time to integrate and soften. By Wine Advocate.
There's a warmth and softness to this wine that's so enjoyable. Full body, soft and velvety tannins and a flavorful finish. Lots of berry and walnut character. By James Suckling.
A tightly wound version, whose dense matrix of tannins binds the cherry, licorice, tobacco and iron flavors. All the elements are in the right proportions and should come together nicely in time. Offers fine sweet fruit and a licorice aftertaste. By Wine Spectator. |
