Note di degustazione
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.

As is usually the case, the 2013 Barolo Cerequio shows the darker, more masculine side of this famed La Morra vineyard. Black cherry, smoke, plum, spice, new leather, licorice and menthol add to the wine's dark, inward personality. Mid-weight structure gives the Cerequio a certain accessibility, but the wine's overall feel is very much on the brooding side of things. Even so, my impression is that the 2013 will offer its best drinking sooner rather than later.
La Morra. Tasted blind. Mid ruby with orange tinges. Nonna’s casetta ! A little muted on the palate and not enormously bright. High acidity and a little numb for the moment. (WS)
