Tasting notes
Cerequio is arguably Michele Chairlo's most important vineyard cru and the prominent Italian vintner has embraced its subtleties and nuances better than most. The 2012 Barolo Cerequio is interesting because although the aromatic intensity is muted compared to other more celebrated vintages, the wine's inner complexity is intact. The bouquet is redolent of wild berry, tar, smoke, licorice and spice. The overall effect is ethereal and pure.

La Morra. Dark ruby with narrow orange rim. Singed fruit on the nose and the first signs of cooked apple. Rather sweet too. Developed dried-fruit palate with a sour-cherry finish and lots of powdery tannins. I wouldn’t wait any longer with this. Cask sample? (WS)
