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.

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.

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.
