Cerretta Barolo Nebbiolo

Decanted 4 hours. Intense nose has unconventional scents of macerated cherry and prune brandy, camphor, almond liqueur, and spice. More traditional-tasting in the mouth. Intense dried cherry and leather, very full-bodied (15% alcohol) and quite long. Acids are a little on the low side, and there is a significant tannic presence, but not so much that it detracts. If this were lower in alcohol and higher in acids, I’d say age it a few more years, but as is, I think this is for near-term drinking.
