Cerequio Barolo Nebbiolo

Power.

2000 vintage. These certainly take time. This one has a lot of primary fruit and needs to breath, but most of the tannins are resolved and it's a nice state of drinkability. My old Voerzio tend to rank right up there with the old Clericos and Giacosas.

Excellent wine.

Would have never guessed it was 25 years old.

After some time in decanter and in the glass - it began to show some tertiary and real balsamic notes

But this wine really paired well with risotto. It cut the richness without overpowering and provided some solid fruit and tannin

There is both some power and elegance in this wine that works quite well

Holy smokes

3rd of the trio barolos served with truffle dinner

This wine was seriously tertiary. It was mistaken for a Madeira or sherry or port for its dessert like flavors and sweetness though it had no sugar

Very good wine to finish the meal and loved to dessert with

Elegant and pretty. Good flavor profile without being too tannic and doesn’t taste old at all. Cork came out perfect.

Mushroom on the nose, rose petal on the finish. Fantastic
