Tasting notes
The 2006 Barolo Cerequio is a powerful, deep wine loaded with plums, black cherries, minerals, violets and spices. This, too, is a virile, powerful Barolo from one of the region's top sites. The Cerequio boasts superior concentration and a long, intense finish. With time in the glass the wine turns quite a bit more delicate and crystalline, revealing the kaleidoscopic personality that makes Cerequio such a great site.

This is a strong set of new releases from Michele Chiarlo. I found that the Barbareschi and Baroli needed several hours of air to come together, so readers are advised to open these wines well in advance. Importer: Kobrand Corp., Purchase, NY; tel.

La Morra. Deep, maturing ruby. Seems oaky and oxidative. Browning apple notes. Starts to look tired. (WS)
