Michele Chiarlo Cerequio Barolo 2015

The fruit in the 2015 Barolo Cerequio is darker than in the Cannubi, and there is more spice, cured tobacco and dried blackberry. You’ll find a lot more muscle and power here, too: This is a good Barolo for braised beef. There is great structure and a heavier flavor footprint on the palate, along with more grit in the mouth and a tannic bite. This wine was not produced in the difficult 2014vintage. Drink date: 2022-2040. Score – 95. (Monica Larner, robertparker.com, June 28, 2019)
