Score 88/100 · Drink 2024-2029, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Oct 2021
The 2017 Barolo Cerequio is a powerful, dark wine. Black cherry, mocha, leather, cloves and licorice bring out darker shades of Nebbiolo character. Huge tannins clamp down on the finish, limiting the wine's expressiveness. This is an especially brooding wine from Cerequio, a site where Barolos tend to be more finessed.

La Morra. Tasted blind. Mid to deep ruby with orange tinges. Old leather and sweet, dried-fruit notes. Plenty of lush fruit and supple acidity with pretty, coating tannins. The overall impression is of very ripe fruit that looks older than it is. (WS)
