Michele Chiarlo Cerequio Barolo 2017

Earthy aromas recalling new leather, truffle, blue flowers and eucalyptus are just some of the scents you’ll find on this savory red. Elegantly structured, the tightly knit yet weightless palate delivers ripe Marasca cherry, crushed mint and star anise before finishing on notes of black tea and white pepper. It’s loaded with finesse and personality. Drink 2027-2037. Score – 95. (Kerin O’Keefe, Wine Enthusiast, Nov. 1, 2021)
