Red - a hint of brown. Transluscent. Spice on the nose - red fruit and a star anise note. Sweet red fruits. Lovely integrated oak. Light caramel. Nice acidity. Spice - star anise. Touch of clove. Very long. Still lightly chalky tannins.
92-93

Sweet red berries. Fresh and elegant. Uplifting. Tannic grip, but clearly in the window - where it will remain for 8-10 years. I paid 45 USD - a bargain!

Only had this one bottle in my cellar - and I am already crying for more. What a beauty, drinking so well right now. Seducing aromas. Christmas cake spices, roses and an oceans of red and dark berries welcomes you. Nothing new - Cerretta juice from A - Z, wrapped in leather, tobacco, liquorice and accommodating ripe tannins. Almost elegant in some aspects, despite the hot vintage. A true star - and I´ll definitely monitor Giovannis work from now on. A lot of people had concerns about the Barolo 2011´s when the wines were released, but they all drink so well now. So charming and inviting.

BBR Italy tasting. Wonderful uplifting nose of sweet red fruit. Clean, pure fruit dominates and with tannins ripe and fine. Save a couple of years to improve an already brilliant wine. 94-96p

Weirdly dull this time. Must be a faulty bottle.

Stored 2 years. Fresh, intense and complex. Long aftertaste. Quite smooth tannins. Drank without food, but pairs well with venison and red meat.
