The 2019 Barolo Cerretta has shut down considerably since I last tasted it, but the elements are also more put together in that the wine is a harmonious whole rather than a combination of individual components. Dark red fruit, rose petal, orange peel, spice and dried herbs are beautifully sketched. I would not dream of touching a bottle anytime soon. (Antonio Galloni, Vinous, January 2024)

Nice, elegant wine, not heavy but still lots of character, color not too deep red. Very soft to drink.

Heady and heavy. This had dark color and tasted of dark fruit combined with wet earth. It was fragrant but not overly so. I loved the balance and the mouthfeel but it did seem a tad under punching vs normal. — 9 months ago

Really good Barolo. Fruity and smooth acidity — 2 years ago

Required almost 2 hours of decanting. It was quite the experience because this Barolo continued to evolve and provide new flavours throughout the night. Plums, figs, berries, strawberries, raspberries, followed by vanilla, oak, humidor notes, earth, mild herbaceousness, truffles. Tannins are big, chewy but soft and persist for a long time. It’s a complex wine that provides gifts of new flavours that are very well integrated. — 5 years ago

Oh my! Expected some oxidation, but this was showing no signs even after an hour. Dark and rich with incredible depth and complexity. Powerful and glorious nose. Dark fruit continued thru a very long finish. A great bottle. — 7 years ago

Probably my favourite producer of Barolo...never had a bad bottle. This is young with bracing tanins but it is already so approachable. Cherries, leather and menthol dominate but there is so much depth. Lovely wine! — 7 months ago

A amazing...!!! Eucalyptus. Oak some minty hints..still vibrant. Is this a Barolo?? Drying tannins...yes definitely but a modern expression of it. I think they use French barriques here... supposedly 2003 was a hot year and the wine would not hold up... guess what??? It did and it can still go for another 5, maybe 8 or 10 more years... there are no even signs of oxidation.. the color is vibrant ruby... this is why I drink wine !!! — 5 years ago

Still holding more of the red color than the other 64s, but very nice tar and roses, and after 4hr decant well integrated with lots of life. — 8 years ago

Dark tawny color. Powerful nose. Notes of black plum, tea, roses, black earth and some anise. Balanced. Rounded out over 8 hours. In a great zone right now. Everything you want in a nicely aged Barolo. Give it its needed air. — 6 years ago

Warm fruit on the nose that combines with a velvety palate of berries and licorice.. Elegant, flavorful and in a good place right now but will age.. — 9 years ago

Feels like infanticide to drink such a young Barolo, but a lot going on here already. Powerful yet delicate with nice crushed dark fruit notes. — 10 years ago
