2016 vintage. Decanted. Whiff of tar and dark cherry in the nose. Medium body. Excellent concentration and no shortage of grip. 8.25.23. — 3 years ago

Quite a bit thinner than the Ceretto Bricco Roche we had yesterday - but still a nice barolo in a great spot for drinking. Surprised at how well these have held up overall. Tannins are pretty resolved but the acid and fruit are still there and in balance. — 4 years ago

Even more closed off than the Bricco Rocche, this was a wall of tannin and acidity with well integrated oak. Check back in 5 to 7. #ceretto #barolo #nebbiolo — 11 years ago

Happy 40th Holly! I opened this about five hours prior to service and poured into a ship’s decanter. The cork was nearly perfect with some saturation about 1/3 up the length of the cork. This bottle of the 1983 Azienda Bricco Rocche (Ceretto) Barolo “Brunate” currently pours a deep garnet color with significant browning and rim variation. Loads of fine sediment contribute to an opaque core. On the nose the wine is vinous. Predominately desiccated cherry, old leather bound books, tobacco, dried roses, tar, mushrooms and earth. On the palate, the wine is dry…the tannins have mostly integrated however they’re still showing up in the medium category. Acid is medium+. The notes from the nose are confirmed. The finish is long and satisfying. This bottle of ‘83 was very much alive but not particularly pretty to look at and drinks like a wine that has been well down the path towards its eventual expiration for many years now. That being said, the few of us more accustomed to drinking older wines found it quite lovely while others enjoyed a small glass and moved onto a more youthful bottle. Drink’em if you got’em and enjoy the twilight of this wine’s life. — 3 years ago

Really stellar! Loads of VA at first but it found a generous midpalate with good length. — 9 years ago

Staying alive! Still great acidity. I've never had this vintage (1995) but it wS very much alive and even became more expressive with air time. — 11 years ago

2006 vintage. Good old fashioned Barolo. Light colour and hue. Medicinal notes. Floral and red cherry. Gorgeous crunchy tannins. Long finish. This is a step up from the '89. Plenty of years ahead of this wine. Very good indeed. NB: after 2 hours this wine is singing: roses and tar to the fore, integrated tannins, crisp acidity. Bouquet is out of this world. — 11 years ago

Well … it’s always a treat to drink something so old. Yet, a bit musty (as in lacking energy yet with just a hint of the other - beautiful ‘must’) and very peppery. Still … interesting and enjoyable. — 3 years ago

2016 vintage. Gawd…needs a solid fifteen years to learn some subtleties. **EDIT**tasted again tonight (01.28.23) and just massive initially but an hour in a decanter does wonders to soften the palate impact. Park a few bottles in a deep, dark space and you won't be disappointed in 15-20 years. — 4 years ago

Complexity in a bottle! Light ruby color. Outstanding Barolo features aromas of leather, pencil shavings, purple flowers, earth and a touch of dried meat. Sour red fruits (cherries, raspberries and pomegranate) dominate the pallet with beautiful accents of Asian spices and coffee. Structure is beautiful. Tannins are present but balance perfectly with the acidity. Thank You Keith S! — 5 years ago

Very earthy on the nose and on the palate strong balsamic and cherry. Still strong tannins after 10 years and exhibiting a strong, chewy and complex evolution. — 8 years ago

Too young. Thought I'd pulled an 01 Bricco Manzoni. But loads of potential. Nice stuff. — 11 years ago
