  With Bakers. Fruity open when cork first pulled, slow O during the day settled down the tannin and the wine opened further. Drinking very well.
  The relatively simple, fruity face of Barolo, but an attractive one.

  Soft tannins and long finish. Good price for this Barolo. Decanted for 1 hour. Very enjoyable.

  Colour: Dark ruby red, white edges.
  Nose: Solvent, oil paint, tar, grass, truffle, balsamic-fresh minerals, autumn leaves. After an hour of airing, lovely violets and fragrant roses emerges from the glass. An elegant and terroir-complex nose.
  Taste: Deep, ripe and caressing fruit; boysenberries, plum and cherries. A little on the sweet side. Tar, worn leather, anise, orange-peel, distinct dry licorice, some toffee and very fine tuned balsamic minerals. The wine is very approachable, round, texture is really fine sandy almost silky already and tannins are soft and of good quality. The structure is almost full-bodied and the tannins and the very fresh balsamic acidity converge beautifully in the persistent finish.
  
  We have tasted other earlier vintages from Ceretto and had some issues with overuse of oak, but here Alessandro and Federico Ceretto's team have obviously been cutting down on the time new oak is in contact with the juice and clearly show that they really got it right this vintage. We really enjoy its transparency for terroir, its richness, complexity and unexpected level of elegance at this price level. Open now-2020. Costs about €35.

  The bouquet has aromas of warm cherry cobbler, fennel, and some earthiness and slight bell pepper. The palate is complex with bold dark stone fruit and a nice lingering mocha finish. Excellent pairing for pepper crusted filet or smoked salmon farfalle at tosi's restaurant in stevensville, MI.

  Young Piemontese Reds (SF Wine Trading Company): Medium to light ruby. Sappy, liqueur-like cherry fruit. Some oak is obvious. Good acidity but little in the way of complexity. Too big and fruity. Like a sledgehammer after the much more ethereal Brovia.
