Barolo, Cerequio, 2006
Along with Brunate, one of the great La Morra single vineyards. This is a real brooder packed with intense fruit and tannins, particularly closed for Cerequio which is unusual, this will no doubt take a good while to come around. The longer it's open, though, the more you get from it, notes of red cherry, rose, spice truffle fresh plum, very intense really incisive, vivid, refreshing and deep with a good sturdy backbone that suggests a long life.
