    Roberto Voerzio, 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.

    The 2006 Barolo Cerequio opens with an utterly beguiling, captivating bouquet that leads to ripe red fruit, flowers, minerals and spices, all framed by sweet, silky tannins. Aromatics, textural elegance and freshness come together in this energetic, vivid Barolo. The finish is exceptionally long, pure and fresh, which suggests the wine will age gracefully for many years. The 2006 Barolo Cerequio is emerging as one of the finest wines in this important vintage. Simply put, it is awesome!
