Estimate
Ripe and juicy, displaying macerated cherry and plum flavors, complemented by menthol and rosemary notes. A line of mineral underscores all the elements, revealing a dense matrix of fine tannins on the finish.
...explosive power... Black cherry, plum, sage, menthol and licorice hit the palate in a firm, massively tannic Barolo... The Cerretta is the embodiment of Serralunga richness and structure. What a wine!
...slightly richer and textured expression...dark fruit aromas of wild cherry, rose, cola and tilled earth. The wine is similarly tight and firm at its core; however...offers more succulent padding and volume.
Underbrush, blue flower and menthol aromas form the nose along with a whiff of leather. The palate is still youthfully austere, offering dried cherry, cranberry, wild herbs and tobacco set against a backbone of assertive, noble tannins and bright acidity...
... Leafy, sweet-cherry nose. Intense, sweet-cherry palate with fine-grained tannins and tangy acidity...
