The 2019 Barolo Cerequio is plump, juicy and super-expressive. Macerated cherry, spice, new leather, rose petal and blood orange lend nuance to this supple, inviting Barolo from Chiarlo.

The Michele Chiarlo 2019 Barolo Cerequio is a bold and elegantly concentrated expression with good heft and staying power. That extra richness is the secret of this vintage, and this wine carries that weight with ease and grace. Flavors of dark fruit, plum and spice give the wine momentum over the palate. This bottle needs more years of cellar age.
La Morra. Mid-to-deep ruby with orange tinges. Polished oak and minerally red fruit. Fantastic, succulent, generous yet cool red-fruit palate. Elegant and with a perfect dose of firm tannins. A wine worthy of this cru. (WS)
Expressive and well-balanced, the 2019 Barolo Cerequio is packed with fresh pine sap, anise, cherry liqueur, and crushed roses. Seamless on the palate, its pure raspberry fruit is generous up front and through the mid-palate before revealing a more classic structure, with fine, ripe tannins, warming spice, and fantastic length. I would allow another couple of years in the cellar, then drink 2025-2040.
