  • Corked! What a bummer

  • A classic light style Barolo. Muted tar and roses. Opened nice shortly after poured but it never really blossomed over the next couple of hours. A very nice and yet ultimately a static wine. I’ve had a number of vintages of this this, Ceretto’s top wine, wine and this falls in the middle. The best by the way, are sublime, similar to Mascarello Monprivato. Near its peak I believe and should stay here for 5-10 years.

  • Maybe not at peak but still very good. Paired well with my wife's Bolognese sauce with Rigatoni

  • Medium reddish garnet in color with ever-so-slight bricking at the edges. Forward, fragrant & attractive nose of ripe fruit aromas of red cherries, raspberries & red currants with overtones of earthy/dusty, spices notes of cinnamon, floral notes of roses, anise, tar, leather, minerals, dried herbs, cocoa dust & hints of oak in the background. Medium-deep bodied with a good concentration of smooth textured & well balanced, complex, ripe fruit flavors of sweet cherries, tart cranberries & currants with herbs, minerals, spices, dusty, earthy & toasted oak. Lingering smooth finish. Drinks quite well at present with decanting and airing and although it has the structure to continue with its development for a few more years if cellared properly.

  • This is at mid peak, with great balance of savory mushroom, black cherry, tar and minerals. There are fine tannins but a good kick of acidity on the finish. Best after an hour in the decanter.
